Figure skating is the oldest winter sport in Olympic history, initially being added to the Summer Olympic Games in 1908 until its transition to the inaugural Winter Olympics In 1924.
Ancient Olympics was a Summer-only event. There are approximately 1.7 snow days in Greece, not hardly conducive for Winter sports.
