1924 Winter Olympics - Prologue.
Although Figure Skating had been an Olympic event in both London and Antwerp, and Ice Hockey had been an event in Antwerp, the wintersports had always been rather limited by the season. In 1921, on the convention of the IOC in Lausanne, there was a call for equallity for wintersports, and after much discussion it is decided to organise an "international week of winter sport" in 1924 in Chamonix.
1924 Winter Olympics - Day 2.
The very first gold medal awarded in the Olympic Winter games was won by Charles Jewtraw ...

| | | | | Olympic Games: Encyclopedia II - Olympic symbols - The Kotinos The kotinos is an olive branch intertwined to form a circle. To be crowned with this wreath was the award that the athletes of the ancient Olympic Games competed for. However, this was not their only reward; usually the athlete was rewarded with a generous sum of money by his hometown.
At Athens, 2004 the kotinos tradition was renewed, although in this case it was bestowed together with the gold medal. And indeed, athletes felt very honoured to receive a kotinos. Apart from its use in the awards-ceremonies, the kotinos ...

| | | | | Olympic Games: Encyclopedia II - 1906 Summer Olympics - Wintersports Since there were no wintersports at the First Intercalated games, the idea has risen that this was because the IOC had made such an explicit requirement. In reality, though the IOC had intended some wintersports to be Olympic, before London 1908 none of the games included any wintersports, and Athens 1906 was no exception.
There is however a different connection between Intercalated Games and wintersports. For 1994 the idea of intermediate games was reintroduced when the cycle for the Winter Olympic Games was shifted two years, resulting in Olympics every tw ...

| | | | | Olympic Games: Encyclopedia II - 1906 Summer Olympics - Downgrading Since the 2nd International Olympic Games in Athens now had become an exception, the personal views of various IOC chairmen caused the IOC to retroactively downgrade the 1906 games, and the explanation for the games became that they had been a 10th anniversary celebration. As more stress was placed on the continuing sequence of four-year Olympiads, the games of 1906 did not fit in. Hence, today the IOC does not recognize Athens 1906 as Olympic Games, and does not regard any events occurring there, such as the setting o ...

| | | | | Olympic Games: Encyclopedia II - 2006 Winter Olympics - Host selection process Turin was chosen as the host of the Olympics in 1999, defeating Sion in Switzerland by 53 votes to 36. This was just after the IOC had adopted new election procedures during the 108th Extraordinary IOC Session in light of the corruption scandals surrounding the votes for the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics. Since IOC members were forbidden to visit the candidate cities (in the interests of reducing bribery), the 109th IOC Session elected a special body, the Selection College, to choose finalist cities from the pool of candidate cities after ea ...

| | | | | Olympic Games: Encyclopedia II - 1906 Summer Olympics - Origin The first Intercalated Games had been scheduled by the IOC in 1901 as part of a new schedule, where every four years, in between the internationally organised games, there would be intermediate games held in Athens. This was apparently a bit of a compromise: After the successful games of Athens 1896 the Greeks suggested they could organise the games every four years. Since they had the accommodations, and had proven to be able to hold well-organised games, they received quite a bit of support. However, Pierre de Coubertin did not like this a ...
