75% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: Chamonix

The first Winter Olympic Games in history were held in Chamonix, France, from January 25 to February 5, 1924.Initially named “International Winter Sports Week”, this event met with immense popular and sporting success, prompting the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to retroactively reclassify it, in 1926, as the first official Winter Olympic Games.Sixteen nations took part in this historic event, competing in a small number of flagship disciplines such as figure skating, ice hockey and bobsleigh. Chamonix thus paved the way for a century-old tradition, marking the beginning of the thematic separation of the Olympic celebrations and establishing France as the original cradle of this great winter celebration.This pioneering event made it possible to sustainably structure ice and snow sports on an international scale.
