The 17th Olympic Winter Games

XVII Olympic Winter Games

The IOC voted in 1986 to decide holding the Olympic Winter Games two years after the Games of the Olympiad. To be in line with the decision, the XVII Olympic Winter Games took place in Lillehammer, Norway, in 1994, which were two years after the Olympic Winter Games in Albertville, France, 1992. They were the only two editions of the Olympic Games to be two years apart. China sent 27 athletes, among whom 19 were female, to take part in Speed Skating, Short-track Speed Skating, Figure Skating, Biathlon and Freestyle Skiing.
