The 1964 Winter Olympics were held in Innsbruck, Austria, and faced an unusually mild winter that forced the Austrian army to haul snow and ice down from higher elevations to keep the courses and tracks usable. Soviet speed skater Lidia Skoblikova won all four individual gold medals available in women's speed skating, a sweep unmatched at a single Winter Games before or since. Luge made its Olympic debut at these Games.
