Author's Note-So I was debating on whether or not to post this in my BWIBE series or as a standalone. By the time I got halfway through it was clear that this was a standalone series. As the whole thing is basically already written, I will be post one or two game summaries a day. I hopefully you will enjoy it.

Winter Olympic Game I-Chamonix, France
The modern Olympic Games had existed for nearly 25 years and they were rapidly becoming an international success story…still, even though the Olympics had a wide variety of sport, not all countries were happy. Several countries (the Nordics and Russia in particular) had complained that their preferred sports were not represented in the games.
The lack of winter sports always made sense in Frances mind, after all the Olympics were patterned after the ancient games once held in Greece and these historic games had all been held in the summer. Then there was the fact that not every country had snow. It wouldn't be fair to host a sporting event if every country didn't have an equal opportunity to train.
Then London hosted the Olympics and Frances views on winter sport suddenly changed. England had gone out of his way to provide a spectacular ice rink where athletes from across the north could showcase ice-skating events. The world had been fascinated by the people who danced on ice.
After seeing such beautiful and passionate performances, France decided that maybe his fellow nations to the north deserved to have a chance to show off their skills in their own element. Well, the only way to figure out if an international winter sports competition would work would be to host one.
Historical Note- When the Olympics were first proposed, figure skating was one of the first countries sports suggested. It took 15 years, but the sport was finally added to the Olympic Games in London. The sport proved to be so popular that hockey was added for the Olympics in Antwerp. When the Winter Olympics first began the fact that hockey and figure skating were also part of the Summer Olympics meant that many of the athletes ended up competing twice in the same year for gold.
End Note- So, what do you think about this story idea?
