Cross-country skiing was a major event at the first Winter Olympics, held at Chamonix, France, in 1924. Only men were eligible to participate, however, and the only events were 18km and 50km races. In 1936, a 4x10km mixed relay (2 classical and 2 freestyle legs) was added. Women finally appeared on the scene at the 1952 Winter Games in Oslo, in a 10km classical race.

For women it would likely be Joannie Rochette.  She finished 7th at the most recent ISU World Championships (#1 canadian) and was 5th at the Olympics in Torino and won the Canadian National Championships this year.\n\nFor the men it is probably Jeffery Buttle who finished 6th at the ISU World Championships (#2 canadian), captured bronze at the winter olympics in torino, and won his national championship.\n\nHope this helps.

Of the sports in the Winter Olympics, I have to admit that skeleton bob is quite mad, but not the maddest. I think that honour has to go to Speed Skiing in Albertville in 1992. It was only a demonstration sport, but the winner was clocked at 212kph (not a sensible speed by any stretch of the imagination)

Not the Ancient Greeks, if this Wikipedia entry is correct:\n\nThe 1928 Games were the first true Winter Olympics, held on its own, and not in conjunction with a Summer Olympics. The preceding 1924 Winter Olympics were retroactively renamed into Winter Olympics. They were actually part of the 1924 Summer Olympics. All preceding Winter Events of the Olympic Games were the winter sports part of the schedule of the Summer Games, and not as a separate Winter Games. These games also replaced the now redundant Nordic Games, that were held quadrennially since early in the century.\nContents
