There are 26 sports.
The Paralympics are split into summer and winter games, much like the Olympic Games. There are 22 sports in the summer games, and 5 sports in the winter games.
The Summer Modern Olympic Games occur every four years since 1896. The Winter Modern Olympic Games also occur every four years since 1924. So, since there were Summer Olympic Games in 2008, there will be Winter Olympic Games in 2010, and more Summer Olympic Games in 2012.
Yes, they are broadcast with as much fanfare as the Summer Games. Note that they now occur in alternation with the Summer Games, so that there is an Olympic event every two years. The next Winter Games will be in 2014.
The winter sport that made its Olympic debut at the summer games was Ice Hockey. The summer games were held in Antwerp, Belgium in 1920 for this debut.

The greeks didn't invent any of the Winter Olympic games
The first sports event called the Olympic games in the modern era was held in Much Wenlock (a village in England) in 1850. The first Olympiad organised by the IOC was held in Athens in 1896.
The Olympic games stand for a worldwide meaning, equality, fraternity, peacefulness. War would stop in ancient Olympic games, thats how much it mean s to everyone
The Romans did not participate in Olympic games at all. The Olympic games were developed by the earlier Greek civilisation and died out before the Roman empire developed. The Olympic games were "revived" much later in the time of the British Empire (by the English).
Unfortunately the answer is none in both Montreal in 1976 Summer Games and Calgary in the 1988 Winter Games. They are hoping for much better when they hold the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver.
he like to play games soooooo much
No. In fact the ancient games have little resemblance to our modern Olympics. Modern sports events are so much more complex than in days of old. These did not include riding horses.
