It's been 90 years since the first Winter Olympics took place in Chamonix, France. What started as "Winter Sports Week" has grown into one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world — one that fills nations with pride and rivalry well before and beyond the actual two-week period of games
In 1924, the first Winter Games featured 258 athletes from 16 nations. There were only 16 events across 9 disciplines, and just over 10,000 spectators paid to watch. Women participated, though only allowed to compete in singles and pairs figure skating.
