Exactly 100 years ago, in February 1925, Czechoslovakia hosted the very first World Ski Championships. The event, called Rendezvous Ski Races at the time, was held in Janské Lázně in the Krkonoše Mountains. A series of events is taking place this week in the northern Bohemian town to mark the anniversary.
Some 240 competitors from 13 countries took part in the very first edition of the World Ski Championships held in February 1925 in the north-eastern Bohemian town of Janské Lázně.
