Three years later, count Italian Eugenio Brunetta d Usseaux proposed that the IOC phase one week with winter sports as part of the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm. Organizers oppose this idea because they wanted to protect the integrity of the Nordic games, and they were worried about the lack of winter sports facilities.

The first Olympics after the war, the games of 1920 in Antwerp, featured the figure skating and ice hockey. At IOC Congress held the following year, it was decided that the host nation of the 1924 summer Olympics, France, also would host a separate "international winter sports week", under the patronage of the IOC. Chamonix was chosen to host this "week" (actually 11 days) of events. The games proved to be a success, when more than 250 athletes from 16 Nations competed in 16 events.
