I · The River

Twenty-five Winter Games in the colours of their medallists

Every gold medal of every Winter Games, flowing left to right in the colours of the delegations that won them — Chamonix in 1924, Norway’s long red thread, the Soviet Union’s forty years, the gap of the war and the two-year step to Lillehammer. The river thickens as the programme grows from 16 events to 116. Hover a Games to read it; click to step into it. Pick a sport above, or a category of event.
