The IOC selects the sites and dates of Olym¬pic Games. The honor of playing host to the Games always goes to a city, not a country. The actual planning and organizing of the Games is then done by the national Olympic committee of the country of the host city. These duties are usually delegated to a special organizing committee, which then becomes responsible to the IOC. In¬ternational sports federations for each major sport send technical experts to the Games to make certain that the grounds, tracks, courses, and equipment meet the standards of the sport.Although some winter sports were contested in Olympic Games before 1924, that year marked the first time that the Winter Olympic Games were held as a separate series. The Winter Games are staged in the same cal¬endar year as the Summer Games. They are num¬bered as they are held. The games at Grenoble, France, in 1968 were the 10th in the winter cycle. The number of contestants in the Winter Olym¬pics has grown considerably from 293 in 1924 to 1,272 in 1968. Thirty-seven nations were repre¬sented in the compet games s#39ition at Grenoble. The Winter Games have fewer sports than the summer compet games s#39itions. Only seven winter sports have official Olympic recognition. They are speed skating, figure skating, skiing, the biathlon, luge (also called small sled or toboggan), bobsledding, and ice hockey.
