Ⅵ阅读理解

As early as 1894, the newly formed International Olympic Committee (IOC) considered ice skating as a possibility for the first modern Olympic Games which would be held in 1896.

In 1911, a member of the IOC suggested that winter sports should be staged as part of the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm.Some opposed the idea.At last, the IOC decided to hold Winter Olympic Games in 1916. However, World WarⅠbroke out in 1914. After 1920, the national governing bodies for winter sports in several countries began talking about the possibility of a separate Winter Olympics.

The town of Chamonix, in the French Alps, planned to hold a winter sports festival in 1924; at the same time Paris was to host the Olympics.The Marquis de Polignac, a member of the IOC, suggested that the festival be formally recognized as the Winter Olympic Games.The IOC didn't go that far, but did agree that Chamonix could call its festival an “Olympic winter carnival”．

The festival drew 258 athletes from 16 countries to compete in bobsledding(雪橇比赛), figure-skating, hockey, Nordic skiing and speed skating.Charles Jewtraw from the United States won the first gold medal in the 500-metre speed skating, but the festival's hero was Claus Thunberg from Finland.He won five medals, three of which were gold in speed skating.

Weather has often been a major story at the Winter Olympics and so it was at Chamonix.The festival opened with rain and the unseasonably warm temperature turned snow and ice to mud.Then temperature dropped as far as 25 below zero and the mud became ice.

Despite the weather, more than 10，000 people showed up.In 1926, the IOC recognized the Chamonix festival as the first Winter Olympics and decided that the Winter Games would be held
