January Anniversaries


Guardian

Recommended Posts

As we head toward the future Olympic Games of Beijing 2008, Vancouver 2010, London 2012 and the new host city for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, I think it is time for me to start monthly anniversaries for both Olympic Winter Games and the Olympiads of the past. That is, the official ones.

First, let us concentrate on January here. The following cities will have their Olympic Winter Games anniversaries this month:

- Chamonix, France: the First Olympic Winter Games of 1924 -> the 83rd. anniversary on January 25th.;

- Innsbruck, Austria: the Ninth Olympic Winter Games of 1964 -> the 43rd. anniversary on January 29th.; and,

- St. Moritz, Switzerland: the Fifth Olympic Winter Games of 1948 -> the 59th. anniversary on January 30th.

Next month, it will be filled with Olympic anniversaries, as some of us already know.
