Question: How many spectators attended the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France in 1924?
Answer: Ten thousand spectators assembled to watchtwo hundred and fifty-eight competitors from sixteen different countries. Less than a dozen were female, and all of those were figure skaters. A kid-competitor, twelve-year-old Norwegian skater, Sonja Henie, didn’t fare too well at those Olympics, but went on to capture Olympic gold in 1928, 1932, and 1936.
