My info is that:

The Olympic Flame is lit in Squaw Valley at February 18 by the 1952 Olympic champion in 500 meter speed skating, Ken Henry. The games are opened by Vice President Richard Nixon. The fire from Morgedal is still burning in Squaw Valley. -- Egil

US Flag incorrect

A 50 star US flag is shown in the medal table. This is incorrect - the US flew a 49-star flag from July 4 1959 until July 3 1960. [[User:Grutness|Grutness talk ]] 02:10, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Nordic events

Talk amongst the Tahoe locals [1] is that the Nordic events were held at Sugar Pine Point State Park and surrounding environs. Bandy 17:31, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First Televised Games

The first televised winter games was the 1956 games. See [[2]] from the IOC for proof. This fact should be changed. H1nkles (talk) 16:38, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
