The 6th Winter Paralympic Games

  The 1994 Winter Paralympics, the sixth Winter Paralympics, were held in Lillehammer, Norway.
These Games marked the first time the Paralympic Winter Games were held in the same location as the Winter Olympics, a tradition that has continued through an agreement of cooperation between the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC).
Ice sledge hockey, which became an immediate crowd favorite, was added to the program.
