2024 marks the 100-year anniversary of the winter sports week festival celebrated in Chamonix in 1924, which is now recognized as the first Olympic Winter Games. As a globally watched quadrennial mega-event, the Winter Olympics is unique from both summer sport festivals and other winter festivals, such as the Winter X Games. This book explores the impacts, issues, and legacies of the past century of the Olympic Winter Games. Grounded in sport history, the chapters in this volume draw on the disciplines of cultural history, diplomatic history, global history, environmental history, and media history to analyze the continued allure of the Winter Olympics, a century after its origin, and in light of the sustained and significant problems facing the Olympic movement. Host cities’ efforts to create positive and lasting legacies are analyzed to highlight the challenges and complexities that have plagued the Olympic movement throughout the last century. The Olympic Winter Games at 100 is essential reading for any researcher, advanced student or scholar with an interest in Olympic Studies, sports development, sport policy and history. The chapters in this book were published as two special issues in The International Journal of the History of Sport.

The Olympic ideal and the Olympic Games stand as symbols of global cooperation, international understanding and the bonding of individuals through the medium of sports. However, throughout the twentieth century, Olympic rhetoric was often confronted by a different reality. The Games have regularly been faced by crises that have threatened the spirit of Olympism and even the Games themselves. Given the many changes that have occurred in the Olympic Games during the past century it seems reasonable to ask if this global event has a future and, if so, what form it might take. With this larger issue in mind, the authors of Post-Olympism? ask probing questions about the following: the infamous 1936 Olympics the effect of new technologies on the Games the future impact of the 2008 Beijing Games on China and of China on the Olympics the local and regional impact of the Sydney green Olympics the Games and globalization Disneyfication racism drug abuse The book provides a useful overview of the ongoing significance of the Olympics and will be essential reading for anyone with a serious interest in the Games.

Since 1924 the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has held the Olympic Winter Games, which are smaller in size than the Summer Games. Usually around 3,000 athletes participate. With the exception of Sapporo in 1972 and Nagano in 1998 the Winter Olympics were predominantly organised in European countries and occasionally in North America. Only since the XXII Olympic Winter Games 2014, have Russia and Asian countries also provided host cities. Whereas at the first Olympic Winter Games five percent of the participating athletes were women, the number has risen over the decades to 45 percent at the last Winter Games in Beijing in 2022. It was a long and not always easy journey for female athletes to gain both entrance and acceptance, as will be shown in chosen cases. The article provides an overview on the foundation, development, changes and major challenges of the Olympic Winter Games as well as the addition of new disciplines. Baron Pierre de Coubertin`s initial resistance and the IOC`s biased position on their implementation are mentioned. Later IOC presidents as well were not always approbative. One reason was the amateur controversy. Since amateurism was one of the main Olympic ideals until the 1980s, the IOC considered it to be threatened, especially due to the commercialisation of skiing and of other winter sports. Each of the twenty-four Olympic Winter Games that have been held until today has its individual history, scandals and highlights in sport but also connected to a number of national and international issues that were not always related only to sports. It is not possible to go into detail of each of the Games; thus, in the following an overview on the Winter Olympics shall be given with chosen examples.
