Turiscom - Olympic Winter Game, Sport and Passion

History of the Olympic games,

From the official web site of "Olympic Winter Games - Turin 2006" . . .

The earliest recorded Olympic Games were held at Olympia in ancient Greece in 776 B.C. This tradition took place every four years for one thousand years.

The modern Olympic Movement started in 1894 when French educator, Pierre de Coubertin, brought together a group of sports and philosophy leaders from around the world for the International Athletic Congress. The group, which later became the International Olympic Committee (IOC), unanimously decided to revive the ancient Games. In 1896, the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece, their country of origin. The first Winter Sport included in the Olympic Games was Figure Skating in 1908. Later, Ice Hockey was added in 1920.

The First Olympic Winter Games were staged in Chamonix, France, in 1924. 294 athletes from 16 nations took part in 14 events. For the next 68 years, the Winter Games were held the same year as the Summer Games. A new tradition was begun in 1994 with the Winter Games held in Lillehammer.

Even though the Winter Olympics are still held every four years, they now alternate in a two-year cycle with the Summer Games. At the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, more than 2,000 athletes from more than 70 nations competed in 78 different events. Half of these events have been added to the Olympic programme since 1984
