The small village of Lake Placid is world-famous as the host of the WinterOlympic Games in 1932 and 1980, but its place in the sporting world goes beyond that.
In addition to improvement of the existing ski jumps and the expansion of cross-country ski trails, the Olympic stadium (speed-skating oval), arena and bobrun were constructed at a cost of over $650,000.
An Olympic Village was constructed for the athletes.
The Olympics organization is headed by a president, elected by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) members for an initial period of eight years.
Previously there had been winter events held, at random, at the Summer Games, most notably the figure skating and icehockey competitions that were associated with the 1920 Summer Games at Antwerp, Belgium.
Alpine skiing, for men and women, has been part of the Olympic programme since 1948: the events are the downhill, the slalom, the giant slalom (since 1952), the super giant slalom or super-G (since 1988), and the combined event (downhill and slalom), which has been staged intermittently since 1936.
