Military patrol at the 1924 Winter Olympics

At the 1924 Winter Olympics, in Chamonix, France, a military patrol competition was held.

The Olympic results database[1] lists the official medal winners for the event, as does the Official Report (1924),[2][3][4] yet several sources have incorrectly counted this competition as a demonstration event only.

The official website of the IOC now treats Men's Military Patrol at the 1924 Games as a separate discipline, without mixing it with the sports of Skiing or Biathlon.

Six teams started the event, but only four finished with Italy and Poland withdrawing due to bad conditions.

A total of 24 biathletes from six nations competed at the Chamonix Games: Sources:[7]
