	Washington Post: 1994 Winter Olympics
		The world saw sport at its best and worst at the 1994 Olympics, and American athletes were at center stage.
		Even as happy endings go, Dan Jansen's 1994 Olympic experience was just about perfect: a sweet kid from the heartland who did everything the right and honorable way, absorbed numbing setbacks stretching back years and still triumphed at long last, finally winning gold in his final event.
		Bonnie Blair confirmed her place as the nation's finest female Olympian ever with a no-frills march to glory in her last Olympic appearance, the 1,000 meters, winning the fifth gold and sixth Olympic medal of a 10-year career.

		The 1940 Winter Olympics had originally been awarded to Japan, and were supposed to be held in Sapporo, but the IOC voted to take back the Games from Japan because of their involvement in the war in China.

	Winter Olympics: A Tale of Two Countries
		Norway's influx of economic support for hosting the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer and a highly centralized sport development program may explain the differences in Olympic success of these two Scandinavian neighbors.
		It was the most dismal Olympics on record from a Norwegian point of view with not a single gold medal and a meager 5 medals in all.
		A third downside of the Norwegian Olympic success may well be that it promotes the frightening trend that Norway is becoming a population of spectators, cheering on the chosen few.

	Commonweal: Downhill & slippery: CBS goes to the Olympics - 1994 Winter Olympics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		It's Saturday, February 26, 1994, and last night in Lillehammer Nancy Kerrigan got a silver medal, Tonya Harding did uh, something--and CBS picked up a record 48.5 share of the viewing audience--which is, like, they wake you up and force you to watch the show.
		Ever since Nancy got whacked at the nationals, America had been in breath-bated expectation of the Showdown in Norway; and as, over the ensuing weeks, it became clear that everybody in Tonya's circle, except maybe Tonya herself and maybe her fourth-grade piano teacher, was in on the whacking, the anticipation was all-consuming.
		The claim of the modern Olympics, with its billion-dollar panoply of advertising and endorsement deals, to be a selfless and idealistic international competition is, if such a thing can be, a charming and rather sweet hypocrisy: sort of like your always-snockered maiden aunt who insists that she only occasionally takes a sherry before dinner.

		Saturday, February 26, 1994; Page A1 HAMAR, Norway, Feb. 25 — When she had finished, when the music stopped and the crowd rose to its feet and roared as if it would never stop, Nancy Kerrigan realized she had overcome everything at the Winter Olympics.
		Fifty days after being clubbed on the knee, Kerrigan gave the most scintillating performance of her career in the women's figure skating competition at the Olympic Amphitheatre, but missed the gold medal by the closest margin possible:.10 of a point in a 5-4 decision by the judges.
		Following immediately after Kerrigan, her performance didn't appear to have the same degree of technical difficulty as that of the U.S. skater, but she impressed the nine judges with her artistry to win the first Olympic gold medal ever by a woman from the former Soviet Union.
