At the beginning of the development of the modern Olympic Games, there was no distinction between the summer Olympic Games and the winter Olympic Games, and the winter single event was held together with the summer Olympic Games. So, when did the special Winter Olympics come into being?

1908 The figure skating competition was included in the London Olympic Games for the first time, which aroused great interest. 1920 In addition to figure skating, ice hockey was added to the Antwerp Olympic Games, which attracted thousands of ice sports enthusiasts. Although some countries in Europe and America carried out ice and snow sports extensively at the beginning of last century, there was no worldwide ice and snow sports competition at that time. 192 1 During the Prague meeting of the International Amateur Athletics Federation, the issue of holding the Winter Olympics alone was formally put on the agenda, and related plans were put forward. At the 1922 International Olympic Committee Paris meeting, it was decided to hold this kind of competition before the 1924 Summer Olympic Games, but it avoided the word "Olympic Games" and called it the "Eighth Olympic Asian Sports Week". The host country of the 8th Olympic Games is Germany. Therefore, the International Olympic Committee also entrusted Germany to host this sports week, and the address was set in Chamonix. 1925 the international Olympic Committee decided to hold it every four years in the same year as the summer Olympic games, and named this international competition the first winter Olympic games.

Thus, the first Winter Olympic Games in history was held in Chamonix, Germany from October 25th to February 4th. Chamonix is a small town in Germany, with long winters and short summers. It is a famous convalescent and snow sports resort in Germany, attracting tens of thousands of tourists to travel and exercise every year. The first Winter Olympics was attended by 293 athletes from Norway, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, the United States, Canada, Germany, Britain, Italy, Belgium, the former Czechoslovakia, Latvia, Hungary, the former Yugoslavia and Poland, including 13 women. This is actually an ice and snow competition in Europe and America.

These events include skiing, four-person sledding, men's speed skating, ice hockey and figure skating. Among them, skiing includes 18km and 50km skiing, platform jumping, biathlon and military patrol; Men's speed skating includes 500m,1500m, 500m,10000m and all-around; Figure skating includes men's singles, women's singles and doubles.
