In 1986 the IOC voted to change the schedule of the Olympic Games so that the Summer and Winter Games would be held in different years. To adjust to this new schedule, the Lillehammer Games were held in 1994, the only time that two Games have been staged two years apart. The 1994 Games were extremely well organised and the Norwegian host' natural love of winter sports added a refreshing purity of spirit. Local hero Johann Koss won three speed skating events and set a world record in every one. Vreni Schneider won a complete set of medals in alpine skiing and Manuela Di Centa earned medals in all five cross-country events. Myriam Bedard won both women's inpidual biathlon races. Gustav Weder and Donat Acklin became the first repeat winners of the two-man bobsled. Pairs skaters Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov returned to repeat their Olympic victory of 1988.
1986年,国际奥委会投票决定,将夏季和冬季奥运会的比赛时间错开,间隔两年举行,为了迎合这一改变,1994年的挪威利勒哈默尔冬季奥运会在与 1992年法国阿尔贝维尔冬季奥运会间隔两年后再次举行,这也是唯一一次间隔时间只有两年的两届奥运会。尽管如此,本届奥运会的组织工作仍然取得了极大的成功,挪威人对冬季运动项目的热爱也为这届奥运会增加了不少的激情。 编辑推荐:
