The first Olympic Winter Games were held in Chamonix, France in 1924. The Games were held every four years through 1936. World War I interrupted and no Games were held in 1940 and 1944, but they resumed in 1948. The Summer and Winter Games were held in the same years until the International Olympic Committee decided in 1986 to place them on separate four-year cycles in alternating even-numbered years. This change was implemented in 1992, and the next Winter Games were held in 1994 and have occurred every four years since.
Cross-Country Skiing
Cross-country skiing is a classic and physically demanding winter sport that has been part of the Winter Olympics since the inaugural Winter Games in Chamonix in 1924. It involves skiing across varying terrains, including flat sections, uphill climbs, and downhill descents, using skis and poles. Cross-country skiing requires both physical endurance and technical skills. Skiers use two primary techniques: classic style, where skis move parallel tracks, and freestyle (also known as skating), where skiers use a side-to-side motion to propel themselves forward. The sport has seen many great athletes over the years and remains a fundamental part of the Winter Olympics, showcasing the beauty of skiing through picturesque winter landscapes.
