1994 Winter Olympics

Multi-Sport Games

The 1994 Winter Olympics were held in Lillehammer, Norway, the first Winter Games held on its own two-year offset from the Summer Olympics rather than in the same year. The Games are remembered in part for the attack on American figure skater Nancy Kerrigan ahead of the US Championships, an incident linked to a rival skater's associates that drew intense media attention through the Lillehammer competition. Norway's strong home performance and the Games' widely praised organization helped establish Lillehammer as a model for later Winter Olympic hosts.
