High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1952 Winter Olympics, officially known as the VI Olympic Winter Games, was a winter multi-sport event celebrated in 1952 in Oslo, Norway. This celebration of the Games was held from 14 February to 25 February 1952. Discussions about Oslo hosting a Winter Olympic Games started in 1935. A target was set for Oslo to host the 1948 Games, but after World War II this was deemed unfeasible. Instead Oslo was awarded the right to host the 1952 Games when it beat out Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, and Lake Placid, United States. The city of Oslo bore the financial burden of hosting the Games. Most of the venues were in the Oslo metropolitan area with the exception of the alpine skiing events, which were held at Norefjell; a 113 km (70 mi) drive from the captial. A new hotel was built for the press and traveling dignitaries, and three buildings were converted into quarters for athletes and coaches.
