The first modern Games were held in Athens in 1896, and four years later, in Paris, women began to take part. Although the winter Olympics did not begin until 1924, figure skating was part of the 1908 London summer Olympics。 both skating and ice hockey were included in the Antwerp Games in 1920. But generally winter sports were felt to be too specialized. Only cold weather countries had much experience of activities such as skiinga means of transport overland across ice and snow during long winters. The Scandinavians, for whom skiing is a part of everyday life, had objected to a winter fames. They feared it would threaten their own Nordic Games, which had been held every four years since 1901. But the international Olympic Committee (IOC) agreed to stage an International Sports Week in Chamonix, France, in was a success and the Scandinavians won 28 of the 43 medals, including nine golds. They dropped their objections and the event was retrospectively named the First Olympic Winter Games. Apart from the Second World War period the Winter Olympics were held every four years, a few months before the summer Olympics. But in 1986 the IOC changed the schedule so that the summer and winter games would be held in different years. Thus, for the only time in history, the Lillehammer (Norway) Games took place just two years after the previous Winter Olympics which were held in Albertville, France. Since the Winter Games began, 55 out of 56 gold medals in the men‘s nordic skiing events have been won by petitors from Scandinavia or the former Soviet Union. For teams from warm weather countries, crosscountry skiing can pose problems. At the Calgary Games in 1988, one petitor in the 50kilometre event was so slow that race officials feared he was lost and sent out a search party. Roberto Alvarez of Mexico had never skied more than 20 kilometres before and finished 61st and last 52 minutes behind the 60th place. Questions 2831 Complete the table below.
