Not so simple In 1896 the International Olympic Committee was set up. It is the central policy- making body of the Olympic movement. It is formed by the representatives of all coun- tries which take part in the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee decides upon the programme of the games, the number of the participants and the city- host for the Games. Over one hundred and fifty countries are represented in the International Olympic Committee now. Besides, each country has its National Olympic Committee.

Summer and Winter Games are held separately. There are always several cities wishing to host the Games. The most suitable is selected by the International Committee. After that the city of the Games starts preparations for the competitions, constructs new sports facilities, stadiums, hotels, press centres. Thousands of athletes, journalists and guests come to the Games, and it takes great efforts to arrange everything. There is always an interesting cultural programme of concerts, exhibitions, festivals, etc., for each Games.
