Military patrol at the 1924 Winter Olympics
Encyclopedia : M : MI : MIL : Military patrol at the 1924 Winter Olympics
At the I Winter Olympics, in Chamonix, France, in 1924, a military patrol competition was held. The Olympic [results database] lists the official medal winners for the event, yet several sources have counted this competition as a demonstration event only. A full 36 years would pass before the modern version of the sport, biathlon, became an official Winter Olympic discipline. Six teams started the event, but only four finished with Italy and Poland withdrawing to bad conditions.
