== Sports== There were 57 events contested in 6 sports (12 disciplines). See the medal winners, ordered by sport: {{div col|colwidth=22em}} *{{GamesSport|Alpine skiing|Events=10}} *{{GamesSport|Biathlon|Events=6}} *{{GamesSport|Bobsleigh|Events=2}} *{{GamesSport|Cross country skiing|Events=10}} *{{GamesSport|Figure skating|Events=4}} *{{GamesSport|Freestyle skiing|Events=2}} *{{GamesSport|Ice hockey|Events=1}} *{{GamesSport|Luge|Events=3}} *{{GamesSport|Nordic combined|Events=2}} *{{GamesSport|Ski jumping|Events=3}} *{{GamesSport|Short track speed skating|Events=4}} *{{GamesSport|Speed skating|Events=10}} {{div col end}} ===Demonstration sports=== This was the last time demonstration events were included in the Winter Olympics program. Of the 8 events that were under evaluation, 4 received the endorsement to be included in an official form in future editions of the Games ([[Curling]] tournaments and the [[Aerial skiing|aerials]] events on the [[freestyle skiing]]). The other four events (speed skiing and skiing ballet events on the freestyle skiing) were rejected and have not since returned. * [[Curling at the 1992 Winter Olympics|Curling]] – Was an official sport in the Olympic program in [[Curling at the 1924 Winter Olympics|1924]], after which it was a demonstration sport twice, in [[Curling at the 1932 Winter Olympics|1932]] and [[Curling at the 1988 Winter Olympics|1988]]. There was a possibility of re-inclusion in [[1994 Winter Olympics|Lillehammer 1994]], but in 1990 the IOC Executive Committee rejected its return as an official sport. The IOC accepted its return in [[Curling at the 1998 Winter Olympics|Nagano 1998]].<ref>{{cite news |title=OL-ishockey på Lillehammer og GJøvik |date=10 October 1990 |agency=[[Norwegian News Agency]] |language=no}}</ref> * [[Freestyle skiing at the 1992 Winter Olympics|Freestyle skiing]] – Like curling, it was a demonstration sport [[Freestyle skiing at the 1988 Winter Olympics|four years previously]] before becoming part of the official program. Only [[moguls skiing]] received this status, while aerials and ballet remained demonstration events. [[Freestyle skiing at the 1994 Winter Olympics|Aerials became an official event two years later]], while ballet skiing appeared in the games for the last time, going into a progressive decline and losing its status as a competitive discipline by the [[International Ski Federation]] (FIS) in 2000.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bj7Ydkun0csC&q=fis+drops+ski+ballet&pg=PA67 |title=Skiing |date=February 2007 |access-date=2020-06-17 }}</ref> * [[Speed skiing at the 1992 Winter Olympics|Speed skiing]] – Considered one of the most dangerous events in the sporting world, the event won a chance to be evaluated by the members of the International Olympic Committee and the FIS, with the possibility of appearing in the program of a future edition. However, this possibility was extinguished when Swiss skier [[Nicolas Bochatay]] ran into a snow-grooming vehicle during a training run, dying immediately. According to reports, [[Nicolas Bochatay|Bochatay]] was moving at a speed of more than {{convert|110|km/h}} and was unable to hear the machine's warning siren. His death is the subject of several controversies, as speed skiing was not a part of the official program. After this incident, the sport was excluded from any evaluation for future additions to the Olympic program.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ft.com/content/f4c4251e-0816-11e8-9e12-af73e8db3c71 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221210/https://www.ft.com/content/f4c4251e-0816-11e8-9e12-af73e8db3c71 |archive-date=10 December 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Speed skiing: too fast for the Olympics|last=Usborne|first=Simon|date=2018-02-09|website=Financial Times|language=en-GB|access-date=2019-10-29}}</ref>
