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.

On 6 July 2007 in Guatemala, the International Olympic Committee (IOC)'s members approved the proposal put forth by its then President, Jacques Rogge, to create what would be known as the Youth Olympic Games (YOG), in both a summer and winter format. Created to address the decline in physical activity and increased obesity that President Rogge had observed among young people, the YOG were to meet eight different objectives, be a multi-sport event of moderate size - scheduled over 12 days for the Summer YOG and 10 days for the Winter YOG - and have the young athletes stay for the whole period. The YOG editions would alternate every two years between the summer and winter editions, and young athletes aged 15 to 18 in the year the event was to be hosted would qualify to participate based on International Sports Federation qualifications. Moreover, a cultural and educational programme was created, in which the athletes would participate in addition to their sports competitions. Finally, the IOC's vision for the YOG was to see the young athletes become Young Olympians and promote the Olympic values and Olympism once they returned to their communities. This chapter examines the YOG's initial concept and evolution, and presents the event's key outcomes, impacts, and legacies. Throughout, the chapter highlights the sporting, learning, and operational innovations seen in the YOG, which have become a testing ground for the Olympic Summer and Winter Games. For instance, though still focused on young athletes aged 15 to 18, the YOG now see the young athletes stay in two waves. The IOC has refined its vision for the event and reduced the objectives to four. Finally, the YOG concept has evolved to "Compete, Learn & Share."

President Vladimir Putin’s Olympic venture put the workings of contemporary Russia on vivid display. The Sochi Olympics were designed to symbolize Russia’s return to great power status, but subsequent aggression against Ukraine, large-scale corruption, and the doping scandal have become the true legacies of the games. The Kremlin’s style of governance through mega-projects has had deleterious consequences for the country’s development. Placing the Sochi games into the larger context of Olympic history, this book examines the political, security, business, ethnic, societal, and international ramifications of Putin’s system.

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.
