Текст3.

§ 1. In a break with Olympic tradition, the organisers decided to split the Summer and Winter Games. By bringing forward the Winter Games by two years, the difficulty of organising the two events can now be spread more equally over a period of four years,

§ 2. It was the small town of Lillehammcr in Norway that was chosen to host the 1994 Winter Olympics. The Norwegians took their responsibilities very seriously, and created a magnificent setting for the games. The highlight was the building of an Ice Stadium actually built into the side of a mountain at a nearby town. In the event of a permanent home being found for the games, this will ensure that Lillehammer will he high on the list of possible sites.

§ 3. There were some problems in the month leading up to the games, but the opening ceremony was so well-planned and so exciting that everyone felt optimistic about them. The Olympic Flame arrived in the arena carried by a skier coming down the ski-jump, and was then handed to the Crown Prince of Norway, who officially opened the games. The optimism felt was in many ways justified as the games produced many good sporting moments. Several Olympic records were broken and there was generally a wonderful atmosphere, which was mostly due to the friendliness and warmth of the Norwegians.

§ 4. Unfortunately, these games may well be remembered for the wrong reasons, as disputes about the judges' decisions in some of the main events created bad feeling. It was believed that the British Ice Dance champions were victims of unfair judging when they were only placed third. The sport of Ice Dancing had already been under attack; certain critics thought it should not be an Olympic sport, and this row over medals did not help its image.

§ 5. In the speed-skating, the British again felt as though they were being unfairly judged. One skater was disqualified for touching another skater after it seemed he had won a silver medal in the 1,000 metres event. Another speed skater was forced to race with a broken skate and did very poorly as a result. In spite of these unfortunate events, the British still had their highest count of medals since 1948. One story, though, dominated the entire games. This was the very ugly dispute between two American ice skaters. Their arguments became almost a soap opera, the result being that a record American television audience watched the competition.
