The Winter Olympic Games,also known as the Winter Olympics,is a major international multi-sport event held once every four years for sports practiced on snow and ice. The first Winter Olympic Games,the 1924 Winter Olympics,were held in Chamonix,France. The modern Olympic Games were inspired by the ancient Olympic Games,which were held in Olympia,Greece,from 776 BCE to 394 CE. The Baron Pierre de Coubertin of France founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) 1,500 years later in 1894,leading to the first modern Summer Olympic Games in Athens,Greece in 1896. The IOC is the governing body of the Olympic Movement,with the Olympic Charter defining its structure and authority. The original five Winter Olympic Sports were bobsleigh,curling,ice hockey,Nordic skiing,and skating. The Games were held every four years from 1924 to 1936,interrupted in 1940 and 1944 by World War II,and resumed in 1948. Until 1992,the Summer Olympic Games and the Winter Olympic Games were held in the same year. A decision to change this was made in 1986,when during the 91st International Olympic Committee session,IOC members decided to alternate the Summer Olympic Games and the Winter Olympic Games on separate four-year cycles in even-numbered years. Also,at that same congress it was decided that 1992 Winter Olympics would be the last to be held in the same year as the Summer Games and that to change the rotation,the games that would be held in 1996 would be brought forward by two years,being scheduled to 1994. After those games,the next were to be held in 1998 when the four-year Olympic Cycle resumed.
Winter sports or winter activities are competitive sports or non-competitive recreational activities which are played on snow or ice. Most are variations of skiing,ice skating and sledding. Traditionally,such games were only played in cold areas during winter,but artificial snow and artificial ice allow more flexibility. Playing areas and fields consist of either snow or ice.
Short-track speed skating is a form of competitive ice speed skating. In competitions,multiple skaters skate on an oval ice track with a length of 111.111 metres (364.54 ft). The rink itself is 60 metres (196.85 ft) long by 30 metres (98.43 ft) wide,which is the same size as an Olympic-sized figure skating rink and an international-sized ice hockey rink. Related sports include long-track speed skating and inline speed skating.
The 1924 Winter Olympics,officially known as the I Olympic Winter Games and commonly known as Chamonix 1924,were a winter multi-sport event which was held in 1924 in Chamonix,France. Originally held in association with the 1924 Summer Olympics,the sports competitions were held at the foot of Mont Blanc in Chamonix,and Haute-Savoie,France between 25 January and 5 February 1924. The Games were organized by the French Olympic Committee,and were originally reckoned as the "International Winter Sports Week". With the success of the event,it was retroactively designated by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as "the first Olympic Winter Games".
The 1992 Winter Olympics,officially known as the XVI Olympic Winter Games and commonly known as Albertville '92,were a winter multi-sport event held from 8 to 23 February 1992 in and around Albertville,France. Albertville won the bid to host the Winter Olympics in 1986,beating Sofia,Falun,Lillehammer,Cortina d'Ampezzo,Anchorage,and Berchtesgaden. The 1992 Winter Olympics were the last winter games held in the same year as the Summer Olympics. The Games were the fifth Olympic Games held in France and the country's third Winter Olympics,after the 1924 Winter Games in Chamonix and the 1968 Winter Games in Grenoble. This games was the first of two consecutive Olympic games to be held in Western Europe,preceding the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona,Spain.
