  • 2014 Winter Olympic Competing Nations ALBANIA (ALB)
    2014 Winter Olympic Competing Nations We list below detailed historial Olympic information for every IOC Member Nation that has previously competed at the Olympic Winter Games and that will compete in Sochi, as of 27 January 2014. There appear to be 88 qualified NOCs that have met IF quota requirements as of 24 January, and have accepted them (the previous record for a Winter Olympics is 82 in 2010 at Vancouver). Unfortunately, after reallocation of some quotas, only the skiing federation (FIS) has published the final quotas as of 26 January. We have tried to list below the sports for which each NOC has qualified but there is a small chance, with reallocations, that there may be minor differences in the final allocation by sport. There are seven nations that will compete in Sochi that have never before competed at the Olympic Winter Games – Dominica, Malta, Paraguay, Timor-Leste (East Timor), Togo, Tonga, and Zimbabwe. Their factsheets have been published previously on olympstats.com – see http://olympstats.com/2014/01/23/new-winter-olympic-nations-for-sochi/, which came out on 23 January. One problem nation is listed below and that is DPR Korea (North). They have not qualified any athletes for Sochi. They had the 1st and 2nd reserves for pairs figure skating but those do not appear to have been chosen by final reallocation of quota sports by the International Skating Union (ISU). However, yesterday (26 January), DPR Korea has petitioned the IOC for redress to allow them to have Olympic athletes compete in Sochi. So they are included below but it is unknown if they will compete.

  • 02-04-1932 Lake Placid Olympics.Indd
    This Day in History… February 4, 1932 First U.S. Winter Olympics On February 4, 1932, the first Winter Olympics held in the United States opened in Lake Placid, New York. Bringing the Winter Olympics to the US in 1932 was a major goal of Godfrey and Melvil Dewey. Melvil was the inventor of the Dewey Decimal System and had established the Lake Placid Club in New York in 1895. The club became the first continuously operating winter resort in the US and would host the 1932 Winter Olympics. Melvil’s son Godfrey attended the 1928 Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland to This is the first US stamp gain support for holding the 1932 games at his family’s resort. Some members of the issued for the Olympics. International Olympic Committee (IOC) didn’t think that anyone in the US or Canada “had the necessary competence to organize ski events.” Others were very welcoming of the idea of holding the next games in the US. The decision would be made in 1929, and Godfrey had a lot to overcome before then. He had to convince New York Governor Franklin Roosevelt to fund the $250 million construction of the bobsled run. He also needed to convince the IOC and the International Ski Federation (FIS) that the US could do it when most other countries saw American skiing as more backwoods. Additionally, he had to face off against another location vying to host the Olympics – Yosemite, California. In 1929 he succeeded in convincing the IOC that Lake Placid would be more suited for the games and Lake Placid was officially selected.

  • Stamps and Cinderella Olympic Games 1932
    Stamps and Cinderella Olympic Games 1932 LAKE PLACID,USA 4 – 15 February 1932 The III Winter Games 17 Countries 306 Competitors (274 men 32 women) Lake Placid, New York State, was a town of fewer than 4,000 people. Faced with major obstacles raising money in the midst of a depression, the President of the organizing committee, Dr Godfrey Dewey, donated land owned by his family to be used for construction of a bobsleigh run. Sonja Henie defended her figure skating title, as did the French pair of Andrée and Pierre Brunet. However Gillis Grafström was thwarted in his attempt at winning a fourth gold medal, placing second behind Austrian Karl Schäfer. Billy Fiske of the United States won a second gold medal in the four-man bobsleigh. One member of Fiske’s team was Eddie Eagan, who had won the light-heavyweight boxing championship at the 1920 Antwerp Olympics. Eagan remains the only person in Olympic history to earn gold medals in both Summer and Winter sports. LOS ANGELES,USA 30 July – 14 August 1932 The X Summer Games 37 Countries 1408 Competitors (1281 men 127 women) Because the 1932 Olympics were held in the middle of the Great Depression and in the comparatively remote city of Los Angeles, half as many athletes took part as had in 1928. Nevertheless, the level of competition was extremely high and 18 world records were either broken or equalled. The crowds set records too, starting with the 100,000 people who attended the Opening Ceremony. The 1932 Olympics were the first to last 16 days.
