5 Did you know ...
... how the Winter Olympics started?

Winter sports made their Olympic debut in 1908, when ice figure skating was included in the Olympic programme among summer sports. It was as early as the 16th century that ice skating became a popular sport in Holland. However, it took three centuries to develop the rules and structure of international competitions. In Russia the first skating rink was opened in 1865. Nowadays, Russian athletes are among the best in most kinds of ice figure skating, but we cannot help mentioning the legend of ice figure skating, Sonya Heiny, from Norway. She won 10 world championships (1927–1936) and three Olympics (1928, 1932 and 1936).

In 1925 the International Olympic Committee decided to consider the International Winter Sports Week that had taken place in 1924 in Chamonix, France, to be the first Winter Olympic Games. Since then winter and summer Olympics have been held regularly every four years with only three exceptions. During the two World Wars the games could not take place in 1916, 1940 and 1944.

In 1952 the USSR took part in the Olympics for the first time and in 1956 became the final medal leader. In the 2014 Sochi Olympics Russia won more medals than any other country.
