The Winter Olympics were first held in Chamonix, France, between 25 January and 5 February 1924, and were originally established to support snow and ice-based sports not suited to the summer. In front of 10,004 paying spectators, a total of 247 men and 11 women competed across just 16 events that included speed skating, ice hockey, curling and ski jumping.
