Pre-1924

  • 1900: Plans call for figure skating in the 1900 Summer Olympics, but the competition never takes place.

  • 1908: Figure skating makes its Olympic debut at the 1908 Summer Games in London, with four events contested at Princees, an every-fourth-year competition for the past decade.

  • 1916: Germany considers a Skiing Olympia as a supplement to the 1916 Olympics, with the February event projected for the Black Forest. Once again, Sweden is against the plan. However, the case becomes moot with the start of World War I and the cancellation of the Games.

  • 1920: Antwerp, Belguim, hosts the post-War Summer Games, with figure skating and ice hockey among the included events.
