	Biathlon - Torino 2006 Winter Olympic Games

		EVENTS: Biathlon at the 2006 Winter Olympics will be held in the town of Cesana San Sicario (in the commune of Cesana Torinese), Italy.
		It appeared as demontrations with the name of "military patrol" at the Olympic Winter Games in 1924, 1928, 1936 and 1948, but did not gain Olympic recognition then, as the small number of competing countries disagreed on the rules.

	Thorn Pricks: What’s Wrong with the Winter Olympics?
		As the Winter Olympics limp toward their merciful conclusion, and another American contestant or team goes down in flames, NBC struggles to fill its programming time with human-interest (is there another kind?) stories of the most maudlin cast.
		At these Olympics the ideal of sport, which is to suppress and deflect militarism and nationalism, joins in lockstep with them, or at least the mentality that nourishes them.
		When, however, the Olympic movement’s founder retired from the IOC in 1925, the way was clear to create the first official Winter Olympics for 1928, in St, Moritz, Switzerland.

	The First Four Olympics (I.S.H.A.)
		The Winter Olympic Games, although provided for in the charter of the International Olympic Committee as founded in 1895, was an orphan child for several reasons.
		The Winter Olympics were on course, hosting a truly international quadrennial ski meet, attracting participants from the far corners of the ski world.
		At an IOC executive session at the Olympics, the Swedish delegate, Col. Holmquist, declared that in his opinion, although there were ski organizations in the United States and Canada, neither “had the necessary competence to organize ski events.” Nevertheless, the IOC delegates as a whole welcomed the idea of an American Winter Games.

		The first Winter Games, or "White Olympics" as it was called then, consisted of 14 events in five sports (Nordic skiing, figure skating, speedskating, hockey and bobsledding).

		The data comes directly from the slave databases, no caching is involved as far as i know.
		I have managed to find additional information for this event along with the 1928, 1936, and 1948 Winter Olympics for the Military Patrol, and I plan on putting this in with the Biathlon.
		The question I have is should the military patrol be counted on the Biathlon medal count for all events or for 1924 only?
