For the first time the Olympic
flame was lit at the Winter Games, but instead of being relayed from
Greece it was kindled in the hearth of the house of birth of Sondre
Norheim, the pioneer of modern skiing and, especially, ski jumping. The
same ritual was repeated in Squaw Valley in 1960 and in Lillehammer in
1994.
Stein Eriksen of Norway became the first Olympic Alpine champion not to
hail from an Alpine nation. For the first time the Nordic skiing was
open to women.
Yugoslavia had only six competitors in Oslo,
and the most successful was Janko Štefe whose 13th place in
the downhill was so far the best ranking of Yugoslavia’s Alpine skiers.
For the first time, the Yugoslav delegation included female athletes
(Nada Birko ranked 14th and Angela Kordež 16th in
the 10km).
Candidate cities: Cortina d’Ampezzo (Italy) and Lake Placid
(USA). |
