I Olympic Winter Games
The 1924 Winter Olympics, officially known as the I
Olympic Winter Games, were a winter multi-sport
event which was held in 1924 in Chamonix, France.

The 1928 Winter Olympics, officially known as the II Olympic
Winter Games, were a winter multi-sport event which was
celebrated February 11–19, 1928 in St. Moritz, Switzerland. All
preceding Winter Events of the Olympic Games were the winter
sports part of the schedule of the Summer Games, and not held
as a separate Winter Games. These games also replaced the now
redundant Nordic Games, that were held quadrennially since
early in the century.
The 1932 Winter Olympics, officially known as the III
Olympic Winter Games, were a winter multi-sport
event which was celebrated in 1932 in Lake Placid, New
York, United States. The games opened on February 4 and
closed on February 15. It was the 1st Winter Olympics
held in the United States.
The 1936 Winter Olympics, officially known as the IV Olympic Winter Games, were
a winter multi-sport event which was celebrated in 1936 in the market
town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria, Germany. Germany also hosted the Summer
Olympics the same year in Berlin. 1936 is the last year in which the Summer and Winter
Games were both held in the same country (the cancelled 1940 games would have been
held in Japan, with that country likewise hosting the Winter and Summer games).
The 1940 Winter Olympics, which would have been officially known as the V
Olympic Winter Games, were to be celebrated in 1940 in Sapporo, Japan, but the
games were eventually cancelled due to the onset of World War II.
Sapporo was selected to be the host of the fifth edition of the Winter Olympics,
scheduled February 3-12, 1940, but Japan gave the Games back to the IOC in July
1938, after the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. Sapporo
subsequently hosted the 1972 Winter Olympics.
The IOC then decided to give the Winter Olympics to St Moritz, Switzerland, which
had hosted it in 1928. However, due to controversies between the Swiss organizing
team and the IOC, the Games were withdrawn again.
In the spring of 1939, the IOC gave the 1940 Winter Olympics, now scheduled for
February 2-11, to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, where the previous 1936 Games
had been held. Three months later, Germany invaded Poland, on September 1, to
ignite World War II and the Winter Games were cancelled in November. Likewise,
the 1944 Games, awarded in 1939 to Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, were cancelled in
1941. St Moritz held the first post-war games in 1948, while Cortina d'Ampezzo
hosted in 1956.
The 1944 Winter Olympics, which would have
been officially known as the V Olympic Winter
Games (due to the cancellation of 1940's V
Olympic Winter Games), were to be celebrated in
February 1944 in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
Cortina d'Ampezzo had been awarded the games
in June 1939, but due to World War II, the 1944
Winter Olympics were cancelled in 1941.
The V Olympic Winter Games eventually took
place in St. Moritz, Switzerland, in 1948; Cortina
d'Ampezzo hosted the 1956 Winter Olympics.
The 1948 Winter Olympics, officially known as the V Olympic Winter Games, was a
winter multi-sport event celebrated in 1948 in St. Moritz, Switzerland. The Games were
the first to be celebrated after World War II; it had been 12 years since the last Winter
Games in 1936. From the selection of a host city in a neutral country to the exclusion of
Japan and Germany, the political atmosphere of the post-war world was inescapable
during the Games. The organizing committee faced several challenges due to the lack of
financial and human resources consumed by the war.
The 1952 Winter Olympics, officially known as the VI Olympic Winter Games, took
place in Oslo, Norway, from 14 to 25 February. Discussions about Oslo hosting the
Winter Olympic Games began as early as 1935; the city wanted to host the 1948 Games,
but World War II made that impossible. Instead, Oslo won the right to host the 1952
Games in a contest that included Cortina d'Ampezzo in Italy and Lake Placid in the
United States.
The 1956 Winter Olympics, officially known as the VII Olympic Winter Games, was a
winter multi-sport event celebrated in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. This celebration of the
Games was held from 26 January to 5 February 1956. Cortina, which had originally been
awarded the 1944 Winter Olympics, beat out Montreal, Colorado Springs and Lake
Placid for the right to host the 1956 Games. The Cortina Games were unique in that many
of the venues were within walking distance of each other.
The 1960 Winter Olympics was a winter multi-sport event held between February 18–28, 1960
in Squaw Valley, California, United States. Squaw Valley was chosen to host the Games at the 1956
meeting of the International Olympic Committee(IOC). It was an undeveloped resort in 1955, so
from 1956 to 1960 the infrastructure and all of the venues were built at a cost of US$80,000,000. It
was designed to be intimate, allowing spectators and competitors to walk to nearly all the venues.
Squaw Valley hosted athletes from thirty nations who competed in four sports and twenty-seven
events. Women's speed skating and biathlon made their Olympic debuts. The organizers decided
the bobsled events did not warrant the cost to build a venue, so for the first and only time bobsled
was not on the Winter Olympic program.
The 1964 Winter Olympics, officially known as the IX Olympic Winter Games, was a
winter multi-sport event which was celebrated in Innsbruck, Austria, from January 29 to
February 9, 1964. The Games included 1091 athletes from 36 nations, and the Olympic
Torch was carried by Joseph Rieder, a former alpine skier who had participated in
the 1956 Winter Olympics.
The 1968 Winter Olympics, officially known as the X Olympic Winter Games, were a winter multi-sport
event which was celebrated in 1968 in Grenoble, France and opened on 6 February. Thirty-seven countries
participated. Norway won the most medals, the first time a country other than the USSR had done so since
the USSR first entered the Winter Games in 1956. Frenchman Jean-Claude Killy won three gold medals in
all the alpine skiing events. In women's figure skating, Peggy Fleming won the only United States gold
medal. The games have been credited with making the Winter Olympics more popular in the United States,
not least of which because of ABC's extensive coverage of Fleming and Killy, who became overnight
sensations among teenage girls.
The 1972 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XI Olympic Winter Games, were a
winter multi-sport event which was celebrated from February 3 to February 13, 1972
in Sapporo, Hokkaidō, Japan. It was the first Winter Olympics to be held outside Europe and North
America, and only the third game (summer or winter) held outside those regions over all, after
Melbourne (1956 Summer Olympics) and Tokyo (1964 Summer Olympics).
The 1976 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XII Olympic Winter
Games, were a winter multi-sport event which was celebrated February 4–15,
1976 in Innsbruck, Austria. It was the second time the Tyrolean city hosted the
Games.
The 1980 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XIII Olympic Winter Games, was a multisport event which was celebrated from February 13, through February 24, 1980 in Lake Placid, New
York, United States of America. This was the second time the Upstate New York village hosted the
Games, after 1932. The only other candidate city to bid for the Games was Vancouver-Garibaldi,
British Columbia, Canada; which withdrew before the final vote. The mascots of the Games were
"Roni" and "Ronny", two raccoons. The mask-like rings on a raccoon's face recall the goggles and
hats worn by many athletes in winter sports.
The 1984 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XIV Olympic Winter
Games, was a winter multi-sport event which took place from 8–19 February
1984 in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, in present-day Bosnia-Herzegovina. Other
candidate cities were Sapporo, Japan; and Gothenburg, Sweden. It was the
first Winter Olympics and the second consecutive Olympics held in
a Communist state.
The 1988 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XV Olympic Winter Games, was
a multi-sport event celebrated in and around Calgary, Alberta, Canada between February
13 and 28, 1988. The host city was selected in 1981, defeating Falun, Sweden
and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. Most events took place in Calgary while several skiing
events were held in the mountain resorts of Nakiska and Canmore, west of the city.
The 1992 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XVI Olympic Winter Games, were
a winter multi-sport event celebrated from 8 to 23 February 1992 in Albertville, France.
They were the last Winter Olympics to be held the same year as the Summer
Olympics, and the first where the Winter Paralympics were held at the same site.
Albertville was selected as host in 1986, beating Sofia, Falun, Lillehammer, Cortina
d'Ampezzo, Anchorage and Berchtesgaden. The games were the third Winter Olympics
held in France, after Chamonix in 1924 and Grenoble in 1968, and the fifth Olympics
overall in the country.
The 1994 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XVII Olympic Winter
Games, was a winter multi-sport event celebrated from 12 to 27 February 1994
in and around Lillehammer, Norway.
The 1998 Winter Olympics, officially the XVIII Olympic Winter Games, was a
winter multi-sport event celebrated from 7 to 22 February 1998 in Nagano, Japan.
Seventy-two nations and 2,176 participants contested in seven sports and 72 events at
15 venues. The Games saw the introduction of women's ice
hockey, curling and snowboarding. National Hockey League players were allowed to
participate in the men's ice hockey.
The 2002 Winter Olympics, officially the XIX Olympic Winter Games, was a
winter multi-sport event that was celebrated in February 2002 in and around Salt Lake
City, Utah, United States. Approximately 2,400 athletes from 77 nations participated in
78 events in fifteen disciplines, held throughout 165 sporting sessions. The 2002 Winter
Olympics and the 2002 Paralympic Games were both organized by the Salt Lake
Organizing Committee (SLOC). Utah became the fifth state in the United States to host
the Olympic Games, and the 2002 Winter Olympics are the most recent games to be held
in the United States.
The 2006 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XX Olympic Winter Games, was a
winter multi-sport event which was held in Turin, Italy from February 10 to 26, 2006.
This marked the second time Italy hosted the Olympic Winter Games, the first being
the VII Olympic Winter Games in Cortina d'Ampezzo in 1956. Italy also hosted
the Games of the XVII Olympiad in Rome in 1960. Turin was selected as the host city for
the 2006 games in 1999.
The 2010 Winter Olympics, officially known as
the XXI Olympic Winter Games or the 21st Winter
Olympics, were a major international multi-sport
event held from February 12 to February 28, 2010,
in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with some
events held in the suburbs of Richmond, West
Vancouver and the University Endowment Lands, and in
the resort town of Whistler. Approximately 2,600
athletes from 82 nations participated in 86 events in
fifteen disciplines. Both the Olympic and Paralympic
Games were being organized by the Vancouver
Organizing Committee (VANOC), headed by John
Furlong. The 2010 Winter Olympics were the
third Olympics hosted by Canada and the first by the
province of British Columbia. Previously, Canada hosted
the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec, and
the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta. The 2010
Winter Olympics had three mascots.
The 2014 Winter Olympics, officially the XXII Olympic Winter Games, or the 22nd Winter
Olympics, are scheduled to take place from 6 to 23 February 2014, in Sochi, Russia, with some
events held in the resort town of Krasnaya Polyana. Ninety-eight events in fifteen winter sports will
be held. Both the Olympics and 2014 Winter Paralympics are being organized by the Sochi
Organizing Committee (SOC). Sochi was selected as the host city on 4 July 2007, during the 119th
IOC Session held in Guatemala City, defeating bids from Salzburg, Austria,
and Pyeongchang, South Korea. The Sochi Olympics will be the first Olympics in the Russian
Federation since the breakup of the USSR.
