Olympics chiefs say Russian and Belarusian athletes could compete as neutrals, but Ukraine opposes the move.

The IOC escalates the acrimony amid growing frustration with the sport's leadership.

The summer Olympics have been a quadrennial tradition ever since the late 1800s—when modern sports and rivalries freshened up the ancient tradition. Since COVID-19 crashed the schedule for last years’ events, now the world is gearing up again for another round of competition in Tokyo.

While Ukraine battles Russian forces at home, its Paralympic athletes are putting up a fight in Beijing. They've swept the podium not once but twice, racking up medals for their homeland despite their distractions and concerns.

The 2022 Beijing Games underwhelmed in terms of TV viewership.

Italy's 2026 Winter Olympics organizers emphasize sustainability, with crowd-sourced logos and mascots and a bobsled track used by fictional spy 007.

There were many reasons to think NBC made a savvy business deal in 2014 when it locked up the American media rights to the Olympics through 2032 for $7.75 billion. As the Beijing winter games come to a close, it’s harder to see them now.

Twitter suspended hundreds of inauthentic accounts an NYT and ProPublica investigation found to be pushing China's narrative of the Beijing Olympics.

The Winter Olympics is an adrenaline rush as athletes fly down snow-covered ski slopes, luge tracks and over the ice at breakneck speeds and with grace. When the first Olympic Winter Games were held in Chamonix, France, in 1924, all 16 events took place outdoors. The athletes relied on natural snow for ski runs and freezing temperatures for ice rinks.

When it comes to hosting the Winter Olympics, Beijing has a major problem: no snow. So in 2018, the Chinese capital recruited an army of machines — 100 snow generators and 300 snow guns — to fill its arid mountainsides with fake snow for the world's top athletes. This solution isn't unique to Beijing. The snow for the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia, was 80% artificial, and Pyeongchang's snow in 2018 was more than 90% synthetic.

Shaun White let up just the tiniest bit as he jerked his body around for a trick -- his signature trick, a trick he has landed without a hitch hundreds of times before. The next thing he knew, he said was thinking, "Wow, I only have one more chance to get this done."

American-born figure skater Zhu Yi fell several times and failed to land a jump during her Olympic debut for Team China, sparking backlash on Chinese social media.

The 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing are off to anything but a roaring start, with viewership down to an all-time low. Thursday’s primetime coverage averaged just 7.25 million viewers on NBC.

Growing up Jake Chelios and Jeremy Smith might have dreamed of playing for the United States men's Olympic ice hockey team but instead will faceoff against them at the Beijing Winter Games, coming to the rescue of a China squad in need of help.

As China prepares to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, Beijing recently made a stunning announcement. Any athlete speaking out “against Chinese laws and regulations” will be subject to “punishment.” Beijing claims it’s an “innocent party,” but the threat to athletes is just the latest act by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) — and proves it has much to hide.
