The events are of several different types. There are individual contests, where each athlete plays alone. To win this contest, one athlete must be better, faster, or stronger than others. Some examples of individual summer games are swimming, running, jumping and gymnastics. Some winter events are skiing and sledding (雪橇) races.

　　In a second group of events and games, three or four athletes work as a group.

　　These contests are usually races and the fastest group wins. For these small groups, there are relay races in running and swimming in summer, and relays in skiing in winter.

　　In a third group of games, teams from each country compete in sports. To win these games, one team must have a higher score than the other. The athletes must usually be able to catch, throw, hit, or kick a ball very well. For teams, they play such games as basketball, soccer and volleyball.

　　For an athlete, winning in the Olympics is a great achievement.
