Innsbruck prepared well for the 1964 Winter Olympics. New sports facilities were built and existing sports facilities were reconstructed. However, the thaw sharply complicated the situation of the competition. Special services had to move 15,000 cubic meters of snow from the hollows to the toboggan, bobsleigh and ski slopes.

Even due to weather disasters, Olympic Games in Innsbruck were carried out at a very high level. The Olympics turned out to be a record both in terms of the number of participants and the vastness of the program. 1111 athletes, including 197 women, representing 37 countries, 36 teams - the GDR and the FRG were represented by a joint team, fought for awards in 34 types of competitions in 7 sports. Intense wrestling brought victories to representatives of various countries.

In alpine skiing, the Olympians of Austria and France were stronger than others. The sisters Christina and Mariel Goychel were part of the French ski team. Christina won the gold medal in slalom and Mariel won the silver. In the giant slalom, the sisters switched places.

In cross-country skiing for men, as usual, representatives of the Nordic countries had an advantage. In women's cross-country skiing, all three gold medals were won by athletes of the USSR.

In men's speed skating, representatives of different countries won in each of the four types of competitions. However, women's speed skating competitions brought a real sensation: 9 out of 12 medals were won by athletes from the USSR. All 4 gold medals became the property of an outstanding athlete of the USSR and the world Lydia Skoblikova. She set three Olympic records at the Innsbruck Olympics. No one in the world has been able to achieve such a result. The world press enthusiastically welcomed the success of Skoblikova. The Austrian newspaper "Bild", analyzing the reasons for its success, noted: "It combines strength, technique and subtle harmony in movements, which in itself is an art that allows you to achieve such outstanding achievements." The American magazine "Sports Illustrated" called Skoblikova "the best skater the world knew."

Also, the competition in pair skating among figure skaters ended with a sensation. No one doubted the victory of the German athletes Kilius and Bäumler. They confidently defeated their rivals in major international tournaments. But they won, who became the first of the USSR athletes Olympic champions in figure skating.

Despite strong objections due to the high risk of injury, luge was included in the competition program. The first two places in the united German team were taken by the athletes of the GDR, marking the beginning of a series of victories in this sport.

The hockey team of the USSR performed confidently, having managed to defeat all rivals. In 8 meetings, the players of the USSR national team scored 73 goals and conceded only 11 goals.

The victory in the team event was won by athletes of the USSR national team with 162 points and 25 medals - 11 gold, 8 silver, 6 bronze. The second place was taken by the successful team of Norway with 89.5 points and 15 medals - 3 gold, 6 silver, 6 bronze. The third were the Austrian athletes with 79 points and 12 medals - 4 gold, 5 silver, 3 bronze.

The III Summer Youth Olympic Games started in Buenos Aires (Argentina). In 12 days, 241 sets of awards will be drawn. The schedule of the Games is reported by the All Sport Agency.

IX Winter Olympic Games were held in Innsbruck from 29 January to 9 February 1964.

Representatives of Austria have always taken an active part in the work of the Olympic Movement and the IOC, and very much expected to bring more Games in 1960 to Innsbruck. To do this, they began to build a new ice arena, a skating rink, ski lifts and jumping hills, as well as roads, hotels, restaurants and bridges. After the victory of the American Squaw Valley in Austria, they were very upset. But they did not despair, but continued to prepare. And by decision of the 55th session of the IOC, the city of Innsbruck, the capital of the Tyrol region, was chosen as the host city of the IX Winter Olympic Games. The rivals of the Austrian city - Canadian Calgary and Finnish Lahti scored 12 and 1 vote respectively against 55 votes for Innsbruck.

Innsbruck perfectly prepared for the Games, new sports facilities were built and the existing ones were reconstructed. However, the thaw sharply complicated the situation of the competition. The special services, which consisted mainly of the military, had to move 15,000 cubic meters of snow from the hollows to the toboggan, bobsleigh and ski slopes. It was necessary to restore the snow cover in the literal sense with their own hands and feet. As a result, the competition was held at a very high level.

Snow delivery to Innsbruck Olympic venues

The Winter Games of 1964 gathered a record number of spectators - more than a million people visited Innsbruck's sports facilities in 12 days. Alpine skiing and hockey competitions were especially popular with fans.

The 1964 Winter Olympics was the largest in history. More than a thousand athletes (197 of them women) from 37 countries of the world took part in it. For the first time, teams from Mongolia, India and North Korea came to the games. And the teams of the GDR and the FRG acted as a united front, so officially there were 36 teams at the Olympics.

The coat of arms of the city of Innsbruck is represented on the emblem of the Games. The coat of arms depicts a bridge over the Inn River, from which the name of the city of Innsbruck is derived. The bridge connects the old town with the district of Hötting.

12 artists from Austria participated in the competition for the best poster of the Olympics. But only one won. Wilhelm Jarushka presented the symbol of the Olympics in the form of a stylized snowflake on a black background, in the central ray of which the Olympic rings are inscribed.

For the first time, luge appeared on the program of the Winter Olympic Games, and bobsleigh competitions returned. 34 sets of medals were awarded in 10 sports, including biathlon, bobsleigh, alpine skiing, figure skating, ski jumping, skating, cross-country skiing, Nordic combined, luge and hockey.

The USSR national team, represented in Innsbruck by 69 athletes (52 men and 17 women), confidently won the overall standings of the Games for the third time in a row. On account of Soviet athletes 25 medals (11 gold, 8 silver and 6 bronze). The second place was taken by the hosts of the competition, the Austrians (4-5-3), and the third place was taken by the Norwegian team (3-6-6). Representatives of the Soviet Union team participated in all types of the Olympic program, except for single figure skating, luge and bobsleigh.

For the first time in the history of the Games, the Olympic flame in honor of the Winter Olympics was lit in ancient Olympia in the Sacred Grove near the Temple of Hera. This event took place on January 22, 1964. The high priestess, accompanied by the priestesses of the temple of Hera, carried the Olympic flame to the building of the Olympic Academy and handed it over to the representatives of Innsbruck, the host city of the IX Winter Olympic Games in 1964. This solemn ceremony was attended by Crown Prince Constantine, representatives of state and church organizations of Greece, the heads of the IOC and the Greek NOC, the Austrian Ambassador to Greece and other officials and honored guests. The national anthems of Austria were performed in Greece, the head of the Austrian delegation made a short speech of thanks.

During the day, the Olympic flame was stored in the building of the NOC of Greece, and on January 23, 1964, an escort of 16 people delivered the Olympic torch to Athens airport. The plane headed for Vienna. On January 24, 1964, the Olympic flame arrived in Innsbruck, whose Olympic stadium was decorated with the national flags of 36 countries participating in the Games.

The opening ceremony of the IX Olympic Games took place on January 29, 1964. The solemn speech was delivered by Adolf Scherf, at that time the President of the Republic of Austria.

After the parade participants left and lined up in the Olympic arena, fanfares and timpani sounded. To the sound of the Olympic anthem, the IOC flag was hoisted on the flagpole, and at the same time the fire was lit in the Olympic cup of the arena. Then Austrian bobsledder Paul Aste took the Olympic oath and fireworks were fired.

The standard-bearer of the USSR national team was the famous skater, four-time Olympic champion Evgeny Grishin.

The solemn opening ceremony of the IX Winter Olympic Games in 1964, which lasted about an hour and a half, was attended by more than 1,200 people representing 36 countries participating in the Games.

First, the traditional parade of participating countries took place. Standard-bearers with the state flags of their countries walked ahead of their teams. After the parade, IOC President Avery Brundage, accompanied by two soldiers of the Tyrolean Guard, went up to the tribune for guests of honor and announced the closing of the IX Winter Olympic Games. The Olympic flame went out, the Games went down in history ...

In Innsbruck, for the first time in the history of the Olympic Movement, an award was given for the observance of the principles of nobility. It was given to the Italian bobsledder Eugenio Monti, who led the two-man bobsleigh competition with Sergio Siopres. He gave his bean's mounting bolt to competitors Robin Dixon and Anthony Nash from the UK, who were left without their own spare part during the descent. As a result, the British celebrated the victory, and Monty was left with bronze.

At the IX Winter Olympic Games, for the first time in alpine skiing, the time of participants began to be recorded up to a hundredth of a second, which made it possible to avoid a large number of identical results.

On the opening day of the Games, West German figure skaters Marika Kilyus and Hans-Jurgen Baumler won silver medals in pair skating. Two years later, they were disqualified and deprived of awards, as it turned out that before the start of the Olympics, the athletes entered into a professional contract, although the rules of the IOC prohibited the participation of professional athletes in competitions. After another 21 years, the athletes managed to prove that before the Olympics-64 they had never performed at professional tournaments. In December 1987, by decision of the IOC, the medals were returned to them.

In Moscow, in response to the entry of Soviet troops into Afghanistan; his position was supported by 64 countries. And this is not the first time that the Olympiads have been a field for expressing political orientations.

Paris, 1924

Germany and its allies in the First World War, including Soviet Russia, which was declared a political boycott in the West, were not invited to the 1920 Olympics, which was held in Antwerp, Belgium.

Four years later, the Soviet Union refused to go to the Olympics, although an official invitation came from France to the Supreme Council of Physical Culture under the Central Executive Committee of the RSFSR. There were two reasons for this gesture. Firstly, the USSR thus supported Germany, which was still not invited to the Olympics, commemorating the First World War. Secondly, the charter of the Red Sports International, which included the Soviet Union, obliged its members to fight against bourgeois sports organizations, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was the first on this list. The USSR boycotted the Olympic competitions, holding proletarian sports days instead, until 1952.

Berlin, 1936

As a result, on July 19, the Games were solemnly opened by Hitler, and it was not possible to hold the People's Olympiad in Barcelona in parallel - in the same month, the Francoists rebelled against the republican government of Spain.

Athletes had to compete under the swastika flags that Berlin was hung with. The Swiss Paul Martin, married to a Jewess, was excluded from the list of participants.

The Nazis carefully studied the American and European teams for the purity of Aryan blood, thinking ahead of time about the generation of "children of the Olympiad." Despite this, the triumph of racist ideology did not come out of the games - ten African Americans took six gold, three silver and two bronze medals, and black sprinter Jesse Owens was recognized as the best athlete in the Olympics.

Only after the Second World War, the IOC publicly admitted that its decision not to change the venue of the 1936 Olympics was erroneous.

Melbourne, 1956

The second - Spain, Switzerland and the Netherlands - did not go to the Games in protest against the suppression of the uprising in Hungary by Soviet troops a month earlier. The Hungarian athletes themselves, dissatisfied with the new pro-Soviet government, refused to compete under the flag of the Hungarian People's Republic and appeared at the Olympics under the flag of Hungary of the 1918 model. Some of them did not return home after the end of the competition.

The People's Republic of China also had a separate reason for the boycott of the Olympics, which protested against the invitation of the Taiwan team as an independent state.

Meanwhile, Asia developed its own drama: in 1962, the IV Asian Games were held in Jakarta, which were not allowed for the teams of Israel and Taiwan (they were denied visas). The IOC stripped the Indonesian Olympic Committee of its powers due to racial discrimination in that country, and in retaliation it announced that it would host its own games for developing nations (Games for the New Emerging Forces, GANEFO). In 1963, 50 states participated in the first competition. Then the IOC banned GANEFO participants from participating in the Olympics. Therefore, Indonesia decided to boycott the Games, while the DPRK supported it.

Montreal, 1976

The Taiwan team did not go to Montreal because Canada did not want to recognize the independence of the island. In 1975, Canada threatened to keep Taiwanese athletes out of the Olympics who intended to compete under the flag of a partially recognized Republic of China, despite the IOC's recognition of its National Olympic Committee. According to one version, Canada made this decision under pressure from Beijing, since China was the country's largest trading partner.

The IOC threatened to ban the Olympics in Montreal, then Canada offered Taiwan to use its flag and anthem, but refused to recognize the Republic of China as an independent state, so the Taiwanese delegation did not go to Montreal. China, in turn, did not take part in the Games in protest against the fact that the IOC recognized Taiwan as an independent state.

Los Angeles, 1984

“With the direct connivance of the American authorities, various extremist organizations and groups have sharply intensified, openly setting as their goal the creation of“ unbearable conditions ”for the stay of the USSR delegation, the performances of Soviet athletes. Political demonstrations hostile to the USSR are being prepared, undisguised threats of physical violence are heard against the NOC of the USSR, Soviet athletes and officials. The leaders of anti-Soviet, anti-socialist organizations are received by representatives of the US administration, their activities are widely advertised by the media. To justify this campaign, the US authorities and the organizers of the Olympics make constant references to various kinds of legislative acts, ”the statement of the National Olympic Committee of the USSR of May 8, 1984 read.

In addition to the countries of victorious socialism, the Games were boycotted by Libya and Iran, dissatisfied with Israel's participation in them.

Seoul, 1988

Sochi, 2014

Last summer, when many people forgot about the conflict on August 8, 2008, the world community reacted painfully to the adoption by the State Duma of a law banning propaganda of homosexuality. One of the first to boycott the Sochi Olympics was the British actor, writer, playwright and openly gay Stephen Fry. “In the common interest of humanity, proclaimed by the Olympic movement, the IOC is obliged to say a firm no to the barbaric, fascist law adopted by the Duma at the suggestion of Putin,” Fry wrote in his blog. He compared the actions of the Russian authorities against gays with the discriminatory policy of the Third Reich towards Jews and expressed fears that gay athletes could be in danger in Russia. Fry's position was shared by his compatriot, actor Rupert Everett.
