I think it's because that it has to be winter sport like skiing snowboarding etc and we all ready have an Olympics for most of the main sports anyway and you can't exactly have a running race on ice....
Curling Sking Hockey Skating Snowboarding
ice hockey in winter and lacrosse in summer
There's lots! swimming tennis karate and soccer! There is more but these are basically the main sports from my point of view!
The coordinates 36°N latitude and 138°E longitude point to a location in Japan, specifically on the main island of Honshu. This area is near the Nagano Prefecture, which is known for its mountainous terrain and winter sports, as well as being the site of the 1998 Winter Olympics.
track and field, swimming, diving, gymnastics, to name a few
The 2010 Winter Olympics were held February 12 through February 28 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Winter Olympics occur every four years. The next Winter Games are being held in the year 2014 in Russia. And of course, it is during winter :) Until 1992, the summer and winter Olympics were held in the same year, but the decision was made to move the winter Olympics off to the other even-numbered years, beginning with the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. That way, if you refer to, for example, "the 2014 Olympics," there is no need to specify "winter."

The Salt Lake City Olympic stadium, known as the Rice-Eccles Stadium, was the main venue for the 2002 Winter Olympics, specifically for the opening and closing ceremonies. After the games, it underwent significant renovations, including the addition of a permanent Olympic cauldron. Today, it serves as a multi-purpose venue, primarily for the University of Utah's football games and various community events. The stadium continues to be a symbol of the 2002 Winter Olympics and an integral part of the local sports culture.
The Euro 2004 and the Sydney Olympics were held this year. These are the main sport events along with the yearly tour of France as usual was also held.
