Scandinavia and Finland, homeland of the sports of snow and ice, had never had the possibility of organizing Winter Game. Only Norway offers sufficient hillsides to Alpine skiing. It was just however that Games are granted in Norway and more exactly in Oslo, even though it had been necessary to find tracks of descent much more in the North. For once, the Olympic flame comes from the cold; the organizers without consulting the reluctant I.O.C, decide that it would be lit to Morgedal, homeland of the first big Norwegian skier Nordheim. |
