Each national sports governing body has their own selection process. In the U.S. ice skating is based on performance in the national championships, one event. In skiing, the skiers season standings.\n\nThe international federations also have rules on how many athletes are allowed to compete. For example, in figure skating, some are only allowed one skater, others two or three , depending on how well that countries skaters did in the last world champions ships. The U.S. got to have 3 women because of Micelle Kwan's 4th place finish at the last worlds.

Of the sports in the Winter Olympics, I have to admit that skeleton bob is quite mad, but not the maddest. I think that honour has to go to Speed Skiing in Albertville in 1992. It was only a demonstration sport, but the winner was clocked at 212kph (not a sensible speed by any stretch of the imagination)

Short Answer every Two years - Summer every four, Winter every four. \n\nLong Answer - The Summer Olympics have been held every fourth year starting in 1896, with the exception of the years during the World Wars. A special edition for winter sports, the Olympic Winter Games, were established in 1924. Originally these were held in the same year as the Summer Olympics, but from 1994 the Winter Games and the Summer Games are held two years apart.

I like the figure skating, bobsledding, downhill skiing.  My favorite though is curling, since it's the only sport I can do.

there are countries that can participate in winter sports nearly all year round. Unlike most other countries that only compete in the summer olympics.\n\nIn those winter counries, skiing (downhill and cross-country), shooting, and others are done daily to survive. In other words, some in those northern counthern ski to an from work and to an from school.\n\nWhy, because they can... they have the climate.
