Figure skating was included in the 1908 Summer Olympics in London and, with ice hockey, at the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp. Despite the objections of International Olympic Committee president Pierre de Coubertin, an International Sports Week was held at Chamonix in 1924 and was retroactively named the first Winter Olympics. Even the Scandinavians, who won 28 of the 43 medals at Chamonix, lifted their objections to future Winter Games. 1924 CHAMONIX 1928 ST MORITZ 1932 LAKE PLACID 1936 GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN ... 1998 NAGANO 1924 CHAMONIX Canada, outscoring their opponents 110-3 in five straight wins, walked away with the hockey title.

This event was so successful that the European Olympic Committees decided to put the competition onto a more formal footing. In 1991 the first European Youth Olympic Days (EYOD) were staged in Brussels, Belgium. The original concept had been expanded to include all the countries in Europe (which at that time numbered thirty-three), competing in a ten sport environment over a four day period. The ages of the competitors varies from sport to sport but all athletes are aged between 13 and 18. Two years later the second European Youth Olympic Days were held in Valkenswaard, Holland where more than 2,500 athletes and officials from 44 countries took part. The British Olympic Association (BOA) hosted the third edition in Bath during July 1995 where 2,366 athletes and officials from 47 different countries participated. The fourth EYOD took place in Lisbon, Portugal from 18 - 24 July 1997, where the Sports Programme included Athletics, Cycling, Gymnastics, Judo, Swimming, Yachting, Basketball, Handball, Volleyball and Football. The Great Britain Youth Olympic Team (GBYOT) which compete at the EYOD numbered 76 persons and participated in all sports except the team events, winning a total of ten Gold, two Silver and ten Bronze medals coming third in the medal table.

Salt Lake City 2002 - The Olympic Winter Games XIX The third Olympic Games were held concurrently with the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition in St. Louis, Missouri. As in the 1900 Paris Games, poor planning and poor organization made the sports competitions a sideshow to the larger fair. While hundreds of sporting contests were staged over a four-month period, most were not Olympic events. There were no athletes from England, France or Sweden; even Pierre de Coubertin did not attend. According to one estimate, as many as 80 percent of the athletes were Americans. Sports highlights for women were few. Women's golf and tennis, which were on the program in 1900, did not take place in St. Louis. Women competed in only one sport - archery.

With the first Olympic Winter Games an enormous success, it was no surprise that the St. Moritz Games attracted an 84 percent increase in the number of participants including a 100% increase of female athletes. The Games started poorly due to extremely mild temperatures caused by the "fohn", the warm wind that sweeps the Swiss mountains from the south. The 1928 Winter Games in St. Moritz marked the first time Germany was allowed to participate in any Olympic competition after World War I; the Soviet Union was still notably absent. The Germans won a disappointing one bronze medal. Bobsledding was in the news at the 1928 Games. A new event, the skeleton sled, was upgraded from a demonstration sport and added to the program. In addition, teams in the four-man bobsled event had an option to include a fifth member. They all took up that option.

When Antwerp, Belgium, hosted the 1920 Olympics after World War II, there was competition in both ice hockey and figure skating. Those sports could, of course, be conducted in rinks during the Summer Games. But other winter sports that were becoming popular in Northern Europe and the Alpine regions, such as skiing and bobsledding, obviously had to stay outdoors. After 1920, national governing bodies for such sports in several countries began talking about the possibility of a separate Winter Olympics. Top of Page 1924: Chamonix, France The town of Chamonix, in the French Alps, planned a winter sports festival in 1924, when Paris was to host the Olympics. The Marquis de Polignac, a member of the International Olympic Committee, proposed to the IOC that the festival be formally recognized as the Winter Olympic Games. Another Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics, was opposed to the idea. However, the IOC agreed that Chamonix could call its festival a "Olympic winter carnival."

Speed Skating in Montana Speed Skating History Speed Skating in Big Sky Country Speed Skating History Speed skating was the first of the three forms of skating to develop into a sport. (The three forms of skating are speed skating, figure skating and hockey.) As early as 1500, the Dutch were especially famous for putting blades to ice in a race. In the 18th century, speed skating's popularity spread across Europe, and organized races began for English aristocrats. By the late 1800s, steel skates had revolutionized the sport, and modern competitions were born. The Dutch again led the pack by creating the double track, as well as the competition format still essentially in use today for all long track races. With the advent of the Winter Olympics, speed skating's popularity continued to grow. In fact, speed skating has produced more medals than any other Olympic event. Many of the Olympics' most famous names, including Bonnie Blair, Eric Heiden and Olav Koss, are speed skaters. Speed Skating in Big Sky Country Montana has its own speed skating history, starting with our current Governor Judy Martz. She is a fourth generation Montanan who has lived most of her life in the Butte area. In 1963, Judy Martz became a member of the U.S. World Speed Skating Team; in 1964, she represented the United States at the Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria.

In short-track speed skating, competitors squeeze into a tight oval track measuring just 364 ft (111 m) around. At full speed, they jockey for position and often bump one another. Spills are frequent and sometimes nasty. Though short-track speed skating dates back to the late 1800s, the sport didn't become an officially recognized Olympic event until the 1992 Albertville Games The competition consisted of four events in 1992, but has been expanded to eight in 2002:
