    Yes, there are 3 African countries participating in this Winter Olympics! In addition to Norway, Austria and Germany, which are shrouded in ice and snow, some sunny countries that are not associated with winter sports, such as Algeria, Morocco and Senegal in Africa, have also sent representatives to participate in the grand event. Born in France, 17-year-old Algerian May Halife learned to ski in the Alps for the first time competing at the Winter Olympics.

    Sa'Azmani, who was also born in France, represented Morocco at the Winter Olympics and repeatedly asked his bank for training time in preparation for the Games. In recent years, there have been many black faces in the snowy world. Senegal's Ray Seck finished 55th in the super-G at Turin 2006.

    After 4 years in the Austrian mountains, this time he will try to improve his ranking. Ghanaian Kwa Nkruma Achipang, known as the "Snow Leopard", began learning to ski in 2002 but has become a national hero. For him, the important thing is not to win a medal, but to prove that black Africans can also stand on the field of alpine skiing.

    However, the most forbearant is Ethiopia's Ro Teklemarian. Since there were no snow resorts in Addis Ababa, where he lived, he had to train on skates on the outskirts of the city. Latin American countries are also trying to use the Winter Olympics to prove that they are not just about summer sports.

    Brazil sent a delegation of five athletes this time, although their team's favorite leisure was "sunbathing on the beach". Argentina has the famous ski resort of Bariroche in South America, so the country has two more athletes than Brazil, including 47-year-old veteran Ru González who will try to prove his mettle in bobsleigh. Chile and Peru each sent three athletes, while Mexico was represented by "artist, businessman and photographer" U von Ornroch.

    Not to be outdone, the Caribbean island nation sent two athletes from Bermuda and one from the Cayman Islands. Jamaica's É Cole will follow in his father's footsteps and take part in cross-country skiing. Similarly, the young Mar Carroll will make history for Iran to compete at the Winter Olympics, becoming the first Iranian woman to appear on a snow track.

    Mu Abbas will become the first Pakistani athlete to compete at the Winter Olympics.

Thus, the Winter Olympics were held in France in 1992 and then in Norway in 1994.

    1. Pay attention to keeping warm and anti-freezing.

    Winter sports should pay attention to keeping warm and frost proof. Before exercising, you should do a good job of preparatory activities, and wait for your body to warm up before taking off heavy clothes and pants for exercise. After exercising, you should wear clothes and pants in time, pay attention to heat preservation, and avoid the invasion of cold evil. 2. Choose aerobic exercise.

    For winter sports, choose aerobic exercise with a small range of action and a large calorie expenditure. Choose low-intensity aerobic exercise such as brisk walking, jogging, and stair climbing. 3. Exercise should not be too early.

    Winter morning exercises are best done after sunrise. The best time of the day is between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., when the body's own temperature is higher, the physical strength is more abundant, and it is not easy to be damaged.

    4. Have a reasonable exercise duration.

    As for the length of each person's exercise time, it should be considered based on age, exercise intensity, exercise purpose, etc. Generally speaking, an average of about 30 minutes of exercise a day is more appropriate. As for the frequency of exercise, it is better if you can exercise about once every other day, more than 3 times a week (at least 3 times).

    On February 4, 2022, the World Olympic Winter Olympics successfully kicked off in Beijing, China. After the wonderful performance at the opening ceremony, the delegations of various national heroes appeared one by one with Yuan Le, the representative of each country, so which countries and regions attended the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics?

    There are 67 participating countries and regions in this year's Beijing Winter Olympics, and it sounds like the countries and athletes who will participate in the Winter Olympics are not as "numerous" as the Summer Olympics. But this is already quite a "grand" scene in the history of the "Winter Olympics". The Winter Olympics are different from the Summer Olympics in that they have strong "geographical limitations", and many people prefer to divide the countries that grow up in winter sports into "three gradients" according to latitude.

    First of all, the Russian team came to participate in the competition, the Canadian team, as well as Norway, Denmark and other Nordic countries, most of these countries are in the "high latitude area" when it snows more than when it rains, and even with ice and snow all year round.

    For example, Japan, South Korea, the United States, and several mid-latitude countries, including China, have come to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics, although we do not have absolutely superior natural conditions like the Nordic region, but we have the conditions to train ice and snow athletes, and we can perform well in some ice and snow sports.

    If we only discuss the participation of countries with "geographical or economic" advantages in the Winter Olympics in Beijing, then the number of people in our Winter Olympics will be smaller. So which other countries have come to Beijing to participate in the Winter Olympics held in Beijing, the capital of China?

    I don't know that when Da Pie watched the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, when the athletes entered, many countries such as "Ghana" sent only one athlete to participate in my country's "alpine skiing".

    That's right, it is this group of foreign friends who live in the tropics, and don't even see a snowflake or ice all year round, they may come from Africa, from Central Asia, they have never seen ice and snow, but they have a yearning for ice and snow sports, and they have come all the way to China, even if they can only send one athlete representative to participate in the competition, they must support the Beijing Winter Olympics in China!

    Beijing is the only city that has hosted both the "Summer Olympics" and the "Winter Olympics", and we are honest with visitors from all over the world and fully demonstrate the "great power style" in order to attract so many countries and regions to participate in the Olympic Games!

    Different from the previous Winter Olympics, in 2022, at the Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, it seems that there are so many more "countries" participating in the Winter Olympics than in other countries.

    So, which countries are participating in the Winter Olympics in China?

    The first to appear is Greece, as the birthplace of the Olympic Games, in order to "disperse to the Olympics" each Olympic Games will be the first Greek national urine athlete to enter, the rest of the national team participants are ranked in the order of Chinese character strokes, in no particular order, as the host of the Olympic Games to "China" Chinese team athletes will "finale" appearance.

    Different from the Summer Olympics, the Winter Olympics are some of the "ice and snow" competitions, which have a strong regionality, and many countries in the "high latitude" region have only opened this Yan sport, such as the Russian delegation that did not participate in the competition sent a total of 215 athletes, as well as Canada, the United States, Norway and some other Nordic Zhouzhuo, because they live in high latitudes, they have a foot advantage in ice and snow sports, so the national athletes who came to participate in the competition came here.

    In addition, in the regional, second gradient, and mid-latitude regions, there are also many countries that come to participate in the competition, such as Yuben, South Korea, and other countries with ice and snow training.

    What we didn't expect today was that many countries such as Ghana and Pakistan were completely at low latitudes and could not even see ice and snow all year round, and there were also athletes or representatives sent by them, and they even participated in only one competition, "Alpine skiing".

    What does a middle-aged country that can't see snowflakes say to participate in the Mid-Week Ice and Snow Games? This expresses China's recognition and support, and means that China's Yan Biao has been recognized for promoting world peace and seeking common development for mankind.

    A total of 67 athletes from different countries and regions participated in the Beijing Winter Olympics, including envoys from countries that have been accompanied by ice and snow all year round at high latitudes and are good at ice and snow sports, as well as representatives from "friendly countries" who have never seen even sporadic snowflakes and are only sent to support China.
