Which city hosted the 1994 Winter Olympics?

So, fun fact: The Summer and Winter Olympic Games used to be held the same calendar year, with no two-year wait in-between.

That changed in 1994.

That year’s Winter Games, held from Feb. 12 to Feb. 27 in Lillehammer, Norway, was the first to be held in a different year from the Summer Olympics. In 1994, the most recent Summer Olympic Games had taken place nearly two years earlier, in Barcelona, Spain.

As such, the 1994 games were the first and only Winter Games to be held two years after the last Winter Olympics, which were in 1992, in Albertville, France.

The 1994 Games were also memorable for others reasons. For instance, they are the most recent Winter Olympics to be held in a small town. Lillehammer is also the northernmost location to ever host the event.

In all, more than 65 countries and 1,700-plus athletes participated in six sports and 61 events, and 14 countries made their debut, nine of which were one-time Soviet republics.

And if you’re an American, you may remember this: Nancy Kerrigan, a medal-winning American figure skater, was attacked by an associate working for a rival figure skater named Tonya Harding before the games started, jump-starting a memorable media frenzy. Kerrigan would later win silver in the ladies’ singles.

The 1994 Games were the second Winter Olympics in Norway. Oslo hosted the event in 1952.
