The Olympic Winter Games has developed over a long period of time, with some sports disappearing and others being added. Some, such as curling(冰上溜石), have recently returned. Others, including ski jumping(跳高滑雪 )and figure skating(花样滑冰), have changed and still are part of the program. Figure skating is the only sport which has always been open to women while, ski jumping are still men-only events.
