Olympic history

1964 Winter Olympics

      Innsbruck, Austria

  • With the Tyrolean Alps suffering through its mildest winter in 58 years, Austrian troops are dispatched to truck in 25,000 tons of snow and ice bricks.
  • East and West Germany field a combined team for the 1964 Games.
  • Soviet speedskater Lydia Skoblikova sweeps the women's events to become the first Winter Olympian to win four golds in a single Games.

1968 Winter Olympics

      Grenoble, France

  • The Games are known as the Killymplics, as skier Jean-Claude Killy wins the three men's alpine events — but not with controversy in the slalom.
  • Norway interrupts the Soviet medal dominance, winning one more gold — six — and tying for top honors overall with 13 medals.
  • The United States managed just one gold for the second straight Winter Games — this time by figure skater Peggy Fleming.
