	Winter Olympics, 1924-1998: Geographical Aspects (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Countries with winter climates, mostly in the northern hemisphere, such as Norway and Canada, or countries without winter climates but with mountains high enough in elevation with snow and ice, such as Morocco, have the natural physical conditions to develop and pratice winter sports.
		Half of the Olympic winter sports, such as speed skating, bobsleding, luge, figure skating, ice hockey, and curling, require sophisticated and expensive high-techology and high-energy facilities and the other seven outdoor sports, e.g., various kinds of skiing and snowboarding, require sophisticated and expensive high-techology equipment.
		The published data on the Winter Olympics provide only the results; but the environmental elements of climates and snow-covered moutains, the national cultural values, national sport organizations, and the will and performance of individual altheletes can only be suggested by this geographical analysis of these data.
