25 January 2014 – Chamonix, France – 90th Anniversary of the First Winter Olympics
As we eagerly await the Sochi Winter Olympic games in Russia, we can look back at the very first such event which took place 90 years ago, from 25 January to 5 February 1924. Held in the now popular ski resort of Chamonix in France, just 258 athletes competed in 16 sports. In 2014 there will be more than 2,500 athletes competing across 15 sports including curling, bobsleigh and alpine skiing.
