The 2022 Olympic Winter Games will feature the same seven winter sports as the 2014 Sochi games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said, breaking the hearts of professional snowball fighters and competitive snow angel makers everywhere.
The 1988 Winter Olympics or XV Winter Olympic Games were held in the city of Calgary in Canada. The games were a great success, with a record number of countries participating and the Soviet Union once again coming out on top. The games are fondly remembered for the stories of "Eddie the Eagle" and the Jamaican "Cool Runnings" bobsleigh team. This beautifully designed poster was created as part of a series to promote the games in the build up to the event and reads "Come Together in Calgary" with a variety of events cropped within the Olympic rings. less
