The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi saw a record number of 2,800 participants, from a record 88 countries, competing in 7 sports over a record 98 events.
The Winter Olympics were held in the same year as the Summer Olympics until 1992. The Winter Olympics were then held just two years later in 1994 so the events could begin separate four-year cycles (two years apart).
The last few Olympics have seen a record number of nearly 11,000 people, from a record number of 204 countries, competing in a record number of 28 sports and 41 disciplines over a record 302 events.
