1936 Winter Olympics

     Home | Olympic games | 1936 Winter Olympics



The 1936 Winter Olympics, officially known as the IV Olympic Winter Games, were a winter multi-sport event which was celebrated in 1936 in the market town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria, Germany. Germany also hosted the Summer Olympics the same year in Berlin. 1936 is the last year in which the Summer and Winter Games were both held in the same country (the cancelled 1940 games would have been held in Japan, with that country likewise hosting the Winter and Summer games).

The 1936 Winter Olympics were organized on behalf of the Sports Office of the Third Reich (DRL) by Karl Ritter von Halt. Von Halt had been named President of the Committee for the organization of the Fourth Winter Olympics in Garmisch by Reichssportführer Hans von Tschammer und Osten.

Plans were made for the training period to start on February 1, but it became necessary to keep to Rødkleiva for the first days. On February 6 the Norefjell runs were opened. Preparation of the trails took place at the same time, and training runs, therefore, could only be made at set times on the main courses, usually one complete run a day only for each competitor, some days only on part of the courses. Preparing the trails was strenuous work. Movable motor pumps and miles of hoses and pipelines were brought in. Brooks were dammed and frozen lakes were opened up, and the pipes were laid from them to the trails. Tree stumps and rocks were then sprayed with water, and the ice layer which formed made a smoother surface and a good base. Obstructions were covered with straw mats which were frozen in position. To transport snow from the surrounding woods long slides of corrugated iron were made. Snow wasscooped up onto these slides, and pushed to the courses, where assistants spread it out and tramped it down. The uppermost part of the downhill course is above the tree limit. Here snow was spread out three times. Twice the winds swept it away, the third time it stayed in place. Scores of helpers were needed, and without military assistance the task could hardly have been accomplished. A large number of volunteers also took part in this work. The maximum number of men was 600. For the officials, assistants and workers, those were <b>...</b>
