Winter Olympics 2022

Although our country has no tradition in the Winter Olympics, this is one of the biggest sporting events in the world. And just like the summer edition, the winter edition takes place every four years.

This year's edition is special, as it is nearly a century since the competition's debut in 1924 in Chamonix, France.

Thus, 23 editions of the Winter Olympics have already been held (not counting this year's). Norway is the country that has won the most gold medals, with 135. Then comes the United States, with 105 and Germany with 93 medals.

Athletes from our country have participated eight times in the Winter Olympics, but our country has never won a medal. The performance is understandable, as the sports competitions are practically non-existent at the national level, which complicates the achievement of medals.

It is important to note that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the organizers of the Beijing Olympics have said that the games will be held despite the pandemic.

Grupo Globo acquired the broadcasting rights for the 2022 Winter Olympics. Therefore, it is the official channel of our country that will broadcast the competitions.

The company will dedicate part of its open television programming to broadcast the event. In addition, our nationals will still be able to follow the Winter Olympics on closed TV and on the broadcaster's streaming.
