THE XVIIth OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES


  For the first time since the introduction of the Winter Games in 1924, the Lillehammer Games will not be held in the same year as the Summer Games. Indeed, the I.O.C. decided for various reasons, one of the main ones being the financial difficulties experienced by the sponsors with the organisation of the Summer and Winter Games in the same year
