The so-called Unified Team (EUN) took part instead of the USSR (the Baltic states competed separately). For the first time Slovenia and Croatia partook in the Winter Games as independent nations.
Finland’s jumper Toni Nieminen became the youngest male Winter Olympic champion. He was 16 years 259 days old. Skier Dählie of Norway medalled three golds, but his countryman Ulvang was more successful as he could boast an additional silver.
Yugoslavia was represented by a 24-member delegation consisting of athletes from Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia; however, no notable results were achieved (the best ranking – the 29th place in the two man bobsled).

Candidate cities: Anchorage, Berchtesgaden, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Lillehammer, Falun and Sofia.
