After World War II, the Olympic Games resumed. At that time, 1948 Summer Olympic Games was decided to be held in London, England. The International Olympic Committee hoped that Britain would hold the Winter Olympics at the same time, but it was rejected by Britain. In this case, St. Moritz of Switzerland applied for hosting the Winter Olympics. In this way, St. Moritz hosted the Winter Olympics 20 years after 1928, becoming the first city to host two Winter Olympics. Because the Winter Olympics is held according to the actual number of times, this year is the fifth.

There are 7 13 athletes from 28 countries and regions, including 77 female athletes. Germany was disqualified because it was the chief culprit of the war. Iceland, Denmark, Lebanon, Chile and South Korea participated for the first time. Because it was the first World Games after the war, it attracted the attention of people in the sports field.

The number of events in this Winter Olympics has increased, with more than 20 events for the first time. New events include men's and women's slalom and downhill. In addition, the four-wheel snowmobile race has resumed.

Switzerland, which has a developed watch industry, installed a huge automatic timing device on the competition field this time, which played a positive role in adopting advanced timing instruments for future competitions.

Norway, which has always been known as a powerful country in ice and snow, is still in the leading position in speed skating despite the war. Finn Helgesen, Chris Destad and Ray Leah Cliff won three gold medals for Norway in the 500 m, 1500 m and 5000 m speed skating competitions respectively. Saidel of Sweden won the10000m gold medal.

Norway, Austria and Sweden, which once enjoyed a high reputation in figure skating, missed the gold medal this time, and the winners were newcomers from other countries. In the men's skating competition, American skaters performed well. Richard Button, a 65,438+08-year-old from Harvard University, easily won the men's singles gold medal with her outstanding performance. Three of the top six players are American players. The winner of the women's singles gold medal is 20-year-old Barbalat Scott from Ottawa. Her success made her hometown Ottawa ecstatic and gave her a luxury car. She later became a professional athlete. In Europe, only Milan Noyes and Piboni of Belgium won the men's and women's figure skating championship, which is the first time Belgium has won such an honor at the Winter Olympics.

In the ice hockey competition, there are nine teams participating in the ice hockey competition, and the United States has sent two teams: one belongs to the US Olympic Committee and the other belongs to the American Amateur Ice Hockey Federation, both of which claim to represent the American team. After a long study, the organizing Committee finally decided that the team sent by the US Olympic Committee would attend the opening ceremony, but not participate in the competition. The team sent by the American Ice Federation will participate in the competition, but regardless of the ranking, it belongs to the performance nature. In ice hockey, Canada finally won the championship with a net victory over Czechoslovakia.
