Story
The Lillehammer Games
Lillehammer, a small town situated 100 miles north of Oslo in Norway, has invited the world to join them for the XVII Olympic Winter Games to be held from the 12th to the 27th of February, 1994.
It will be 70 years since the first Olympic medals for winter sports were awarded in Chamonix, and 42 years since the games were held in Norway.
The Olympics are based on the fundamental ideal of educating young people through sport in a spirit of better understanding and friendship, thereby helping to build a better and more peaceful world.

Downhill
Held at Kvitfjell, this 3,150-meter course features a vertical descent of 820 meters. You must ski from the starting hut to the finish line through all gates.
Missing a gate results in disqualification; you can finish the run, but no official time will be recorded. Avoid hitting off-course objects, as this causes fatal injuries. The winner is decided by the fastest single run.
Super G
Also held at Kvitfjell, this is a shorter track than the Downhill. It features a natural sequence of long and medium turns with gates designed to slow skiers down. The winner is decided after one run.
Giant Slalom
Held at Hafjell, this course features long, medium, and tight turns. The winner is decided by the lowest combined time after two runs.
Slalom
Held at Hafjell, this is the shortest alpine event. It features rapid direction changes designed to test rhythm and speed. The winner is decided by the fastest aggregate time after two runs.
Freestyle Moguls
Held at the Kanthaugen Freestyle Arena, competitors ski down a steep 250-meter mogul slope and execute two jumps. Scoring is based on technique (50%), jumps (25%), and time (25%).
