The 1924 Winter Olympics medal table was topped by Norway, which won seventeen medals in total, including four gold, three of which were won by Thorleif Haug in the nordic combined and cross-country skiing events. Finland placed second on the table, collecting four gold medals among a total of eleven. The 1924 Winter Olympics, officially known as the I Olympic Winter Games, and known at the time as Semaine Internationale des Sports d'Hiver ("International Winter Sports Week"), was a winter multi-sport event held in Chamonix, France, from 25 January to 5 February 1924. When it was held, the games were not formally recognised as being the Olympics, but it was acknowledged that they were held under the "high patronage of the International Olympic Committee". Eight of the competing nations achieved at least one gold medal, with only Belgium and the hosts, France, medalling without winning a gold medal. (Full list...)
