READING<br />
In countries in the northern part of the<br />
world, people competed in sports on snow<br />
and ice. They wanted these sports<br />
included in the <strong>Olympic</strong> programme. In<br />
1924 a winter sports week was held in<br />
Chamonix, France. The <strong>International</strong><br />
<strong>Olympic</strong> Committee supported this event. It<br />
was a very big success and the IOC then<br />
agreed to name the Chamonix<br />
competitions as the first Winter Games.<br />
Since then the Winter Games have taken<br />
place every four years – at first in the<br />
same year as the Summer Games. Now<br />
there is a two-year difference between the<br />
Summer and Winter Games.<br />
