List of 1924 Winter Olympics medal winners
The inaugural Winter Olympics were held in Chamonix, France, from 25 January to 4 February 1924. A total of 258 athletes from 16 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) competed in 16 events across 9 disciplines. Women also took part in these Games, although the only events they were allowed to compete in were the figure skating ladies' singles and pairs. When the Games were held, they were not recognized as the Winter Olympics but rather as a winter sports week festival. It was not until 1926 that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) officially recognized them as the first Winter Olympics.
Skijoring
Skijoring as a sport behind reindeer made its official debut in Stockholm at the Nordic Games of 1901, 1905 and 1909 (http://www.morgedal.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/The-beginning-of-the-Winter-Olympics.pdf and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Games;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skijoring_at_the_1928_Winter_Olympics). In 1926, equine skijoring made an appearance at the Chamonix International Winter Sports Week Games (http://blog.americanheritage1.com/blog/bid/103179/The-Magnificent-1924-Chamonix-Winter-Olympic-Games) which set the stage for it’s inclusion as an exhibition sport at the 1928 Winter Olympic Games two years later in St. Moritz, Switzerland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skijoring_at_the_1928_Winter_Olympics). In 1976, Denver, Colorado listed skijoring as an exhibition sport in their bid for the Winter Olympics. Denver won the bid, but ultimately turned it down, and skijoring was destined to remain in the shadows. Skijor International, LLC and Skijor USA, a non-profit organization, are working to bring equine skijoring back to the Winter Olympic Games in some capacity in 2026 or 2030 marking 100 years of skijoring history.
