Men vägen till etablerad och respekterad skidskyttenation har inte varit helt spikrak.

Squaw Valley was chosen to host the Games at the 1956 meeting of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It was an undeveloped resort in 1955, so from 1956 to 1960 the infrastructure and all of the venues were built at a cost of US$ 80,000,000. It was designed to be intimate, allowing spectators and competitors to walk to nearly all the venues. Squaw Valley hosted athletes from thirty nations who competed in four sports and twenty-seven events. Women's speed skating and biathlon made their Olympic debuts. The organizers decided the bobsled events did not warrant the cost to build a venue, so for the first and only time bobsled was not on the Winter Olympic program.

  • Le Traitement Médiatique Des Sports D'hiver : Approche Comparée France/Pays Scandinaves
    ÉCOLE DU JOURNALISME Mastère 2 Journalisme Sportif *** LE TRAITEMENT MÉDIATIQUE DES SPORTS D’HIVER : APPROCHE COMPARÉE FRANCE/PAYS SCANDINAVES Mémoire présenté et soutenu par M. Florian Burgaud *** Année universitaire 2019/2020 REMERCIEMENTS Je remercie chaleureusement Christophe Colette qui m’a aiguillé pendant mes recherches. Je remercie aussi toutes les personnes qui m’ont aidé, de près ou de loin, pour la rédaction de ce mémoire. Un immense merci aux journalistes et aux autres personnes qui ont accepté de répondre à mes questions, à mes interrogations sur le traitement médiatique des sports d’hiver en France et dans les pays scandinaves. Un grand merci, donc, à tous : Nils Christian Mangelrød, Marcus Lindqvist, Viljam Brodahl, Jean-Pierre Bidet, Marc Ventouillac, Franck Lacroix, Sverker Sörlin et Nicolas Mayer. Merci aussi à Arne Idland pour son aide sur le Blink Festival. Merci à tous pour la confiance que vous m’avez accordée. Merci, enfin, à l’École Du Journalisme de Nice de m’avoir permis d’écrire ce mémoire sur un sujet s’insérant parfaitement dans mon projet professionnel. 1 RÉSUMÉ Lors de chaque édition des Jeux olympiques d’hiver, les audiences mesurées par Médiamétrie sont incroyablement élevées – jusqu’à 16 millions de personnes en 1992 pour le programme court féminin de patinage artistique. En partant du constat que les Français aiment les sports d’hiver mais qu’ils sont quasiment invisibles dans le paysage médiatique, à part le biathlon depuis quelques années, nous avons réalisé une approche comparée avec le traitement que les médias scandinaves font des sports d’hiver. Là-bas, les fondeurs et les hockeyeurs, notamment, sont de véritables stars traquées par les journalistes et les sports blancs font la une des journaux toute l’année.

Edward Washburn: I was one of four managing assistant directors under the managing director, Mr. H.D. Thoreau. My responsibilities were everything that nobody else had. They turned out to be myriad and diverse, to say the least. Max Dunn was an assistant managing director in charge of all skiing and skating events. This included supervision of the building of the ice rink, the outdoor skating rink, laying out all of the courses, getting the judges, doing all that. That occupied Max pretty fully. He couldn't do much of anything else. Bob Ewen was the personnel manager. He had change of all the hiring, firing, paying and all the rest of all the personnel on the staff, which proved to be a number of hundreds -- I don't remember how many, but there were many -- and also, seeing that the facilities were appropriate and the rest of it, in Squaw Valley. So that took care of Mr. Ewen. Al Ewen his name was [ed. note: The official report lists Robert Search as personnel director and Al Ewen as assistant general manager].

In addition to the current Board of Directors, Gun-Britt Cristoferson and Mats Rylander from the Vasaloppet organization and the Chairman of the Nomination Committee Erik-Åke Tranberg were also present at Vasaloppet's house in Mora. Eva-Lena Frick was there a short time before the meeting to express her warm thanks for the good cooperation with the Veterans Club's Board of Directors and her great appreciation to all of us veterans as an asset and important representatives of vasaloppet's entire organization.
