Did you know?

Every two years

Since 1994, the Olympic Winter Games and the Games of the Olympiad are held alternately every two years.

An environmental conscience

Based on respect for the environment, these Games were baptised the "White-Green Games" by President Samaranch.

The Olympic Spirit

The composition of the Bosnia and Herzegovina four-man bob team was: one Croatian, two Bosnians and a Serbian -- the best possible example of the Olympic spirit at the worst of times.

An emotive call by the president

In memory of Sarajevo: "Our message is stronger than ever: Please stop the fighting. Stop the killing. Drop your guns."
