Can any city host the winter Olympics?
Subject to certain Intrnational Olympic Committee (IOC) guidelines, any major city can apply to host the Summer Games. However, locations for the Winter Olympics, which require extensive ice and snow, are much more restrictive as regards available area, climate, and access (Innsbruck, the site of the first Winter Youth Olympics in 2012, had to haul in snow for the Olympics in 1964). Because the Games are expensive, rules now limit host countries to those that would likely not suffer adverse impact from bearing the immense costs. This effectively prevents developing countries from hosting a Winter Olympics.

What is the hottest part of the Olympics?
It depends on your opinion. Apparently, the top 3 for both type of the Olympics are as they are below: Winter Olympics #1: Women`s Figure Skating #2: Half Pipe #3: Pair Figure Skating Summer Olympics #1: Men`s Swimming #2: Men`s Running #3: Women`s Swimming I see a pattern in that. Anyway I`ve researched and now can show a few more details. Percentage of Women watching Winter Olympics: 82% Percentage of Women watching Summer Olympics: 84% Percentage of Men watching Winter Olympics: 73% Percentage of Men watching Summer Olympics: 64% Percentage of Girls watching Winter Olympics: 45% Percentage of Girls watching Summer Olympics: 11% Percentage of Boys watching Winter Olympics: 27% Percentage of Boys watching Summer Olympics: 36% Winter Olympics are more popular, and so that means Women`s Figure Skating is the hottest Olympic sport. After comparing this all to that all, I`ve noticed what is most popular. But most popular->hottest, so it`s "hottest", as some people say. I, myself, prefer Pair Figure Skating, but people can think what they want. Luge->not as popular as->mens figure skating->not as popular as->womens figure skating Pair Figure skating falls in about 4th place for Winter Olympics. Luge is about 7th though.
