Any Winter Games?  The first modern Winter Olympic games were
held in 1924 in Chamonix, France. There was no winter Olympic
festival in ancient times. Separate Winter Games were first
authorized in 1911 to be held in 1916, but due to World War I
they didn’t occur until 1924, in Chamonix.  Starting with
Lillehammer in 1994, it was decided that every other year will
be an Olympic year (with Summer and Winter Games alternating),
rather than holding Summer and Winter Games every 4th year. This
was done to accommodate TV networks and audiences.
