	1988 Winter Olympics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1988 Games were the last games where the Paralympics were not also held in the same city.
		For the first time in history the Winter Olympics were extended to 16 days, the speed skating events were held indoors on a covered rink, the alpine events took place on artificial snow, and warm Chinook winds not only threatened to cancel events, but sent a ski jumper flying into a camera tower.
		1988 was the second time Canada had hosted the Olympics, this includes the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.

		The winter Olympics were begun in 1924 and were held in the same year as the summer games until the 1994 winter games in Lillehammer, Norway, when the alternating cycles began.
		The 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, reflected a changed political landscape: the 172 participating nations and territories included the Unified Team (with athletes from 12 former Soviet republics), a reunited Germany, and South Africa, which was allowed to compete for the first time since 1960.
		The Olympic games are competitions of individual athletes, not of nations, and the IOC does not keep national scores; however, the media of all nations report national standings according to one of two scoring systems.

	OΛYMΠIAKOI AΓΩNEΣ
		The cultural events that were organized between 1956 and 1988, together and with reference to the Olympic Games, had a duration that ranged from a few weeks, as was the case in Melbourne (1956) and Moscow (1980), to several months, as in Rome (1960) and Los Angeles (1984).
		As a result, after the end of the 1988 Olympics and in view of the 1992 Olympics (Barcelona), the institution of the Cultural Olympiad was adopted.
		Similar was the structure of the Cultural Olympiad of the 1996 Olympics (Atlanta), and of the 2000 Olympics (Sydney).

		The 1988 Winter Olympics represents an important stage in the planned image transformation of this former western Canadian "cow town" to that of a more international city: a city which presents its inhabitants and visitors with "world class" recreational activities, high-tech manufacturing opportunities, and tourism thrills (Calgary Economic Development Authority, 1988; Scott, 1992).
		Olympics symbolized the urban transformation in both population growth and downtown expansion that recently had occurred in the city, and the Olympic Games became the vehicle to make a statement about this transformation to the world.
		The bid was a collaborative effort with CODA coordinating the bid and support (financial and otherwise) coming from the Calgary Booster Club, the Canadian Olympic Association, the City of Calgary, the Province of Alberta, the Government of Canada, and the University of Calgary, and a large number of interested organizations and individuals ((Hiller, 1990, p.
