The '''1994 Winter Olympics''' (officially the '''XVII Olympic Winter Games''' and also known as '''Lillehammer 1994''') were a winter multi-sport event held between 12 and 27 February 1994 in and around Lillehammer, Norway.  Lillehammer failed to win the bid for the [[Albertville 1992|1992 event]], but was awarded the 1994 Winter Games in 1988, after beating Anchorage, Alaska; Östersund, Sweden; and Sofia, Bulgaria. The Games were the first to be held in a different year than the Summer Olympics, the only one to be held two years after the previous winter Games, and the last to be held in a small town. The Games were also the second hosted in Norway, and the second Winter Olympics in the Nordic Countries, after [[Oslo 1952]].
