1994 Lillehammer Winter Games
1,844 Athletes, 67 Countries, 61 Events

Lillehammer hosted the first Winter Olympics to be held two years after the last Games (1992 in Albertville, France). The IOC decided that the Olympic schedule should alternate every two years between Summer and Winter Games, rather than both being in the same year, as was the case since the inception of the Winter Games in 1924. Ten Ivy Leaguers made the trip to Lillehammer, five of whom had been in Albertville just two years prior.

The Dartmouth skiing contingent included: William B. Gaylord '90, Nina M. Kemppel '92, Suzanne P. King '86, Elizabeth G. McIntyre '87, Carl J. Swenson '92, and Leslie A. Thompson '86. Gaylord skied in the alpine events for Great Britain. Kemppel, King, McIntyre, and Swenson would return in future Games, whether it was 1998 in Nagano or 2002 in Salt Lake City. Thompson was in her last Games after starting her Olympic career at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. The best finish out of this group came for McIntyre, who won a silver medal in the moguls after finishing sixth at Albertville. Swenson, who would return to the U.S. ski team for the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, doubles as a professional mountain biker and he nearly made the U.S. mountain biking team for the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics.

The flagbearer for the United States at the opening ceremonies was Cameron 'Cammy' Myler (Dartmouth, 1992), a member of the luge team. Myler began her Olympic career at the 1988 Calgary Winter Games, it continued to Nagano in 1998. Her best finish came in 1992, when she finished in fifth place.

The U.S. ice hockey squad included Peter Ciavaglia (Harvard, 1991) and Ted Drury (Harvard, 1994). Drury was on the Olympic team for the 1992 Albertville Games. The 1994 team finished in eighth place. Ciavaglia had a long career with the now defunct Detroit Vipers of the International Hockey League (IHL). He even had his jersey retired, placing it among the greats at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Drury played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for eight seasons, his brother Chris is still in the league. Today, both host an annual golf tournament to benefit The Travis Roy Foundation, which assists victims of spinal cord injury. Roy was on the Boston University men's ice hockey team when eleven seconds into the first shift of his first game he was paralyzed when he crashed into the boards.

Jim Herberich (Harvard, 1985), a former track athlete for the Crimson, competed in his second Winter Olympics in 1994 as a member of the U.S. bobsled team. His twoman team finished in 14th place. Herberich would return for the 1998 Nagano Games.
