The 1972 Winter Olympics were held in Sapporo, Japan, the first Winter Games held in Asia. Spain's Francisco Fernandez Ochoa won the men's slalom, becoming the first Spanish Winter Olympic champion, and the Netherlands' Ard Schenk won three of the four individual gold medals in men's speed skating. The Sapporo Games also saw disputes over amateur status that led to the exclusion of several top Alpine skiers ahead of the competition.
