1924 Winter Olympics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Originally called Semaine des Sports d'Hiver ("International Winter Sports Week") and held in association with the 1924 Summer Olympics, the sports competitions held in Chamonix between 25 January and 5 February 1924 were later designated by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as the '''Ist Olympic Winter Games.

Medals awarded
Medals were awarded in 16 events, and 9 sports. Many sources do not list curling and the military patrol, or list them as demonstration events. However, no such designation was made in 1924, nor by the IOC at any time, and many Olympic historians now consider them to be full medal events.
