46. Carrying the Torch
The Winter Olympics in 1984 was a sight to see and perhaps one of the best parts was at the very beginning. Yugoslavian figure skater Sanda Dubravcic lit the Olympic flame. The opening ceremonies were held at the Kosovo stadium in Sarajevo. Seven National Olympic Committees sent athletes for the first time: Egypt, British Virgin Islands, Monaco, Puerto Rico and Senegal participated for the first time in the Olympic Winter Games. Finland’s Marja-Liisa Hämäläinen, who won all three individual races in cross-country skiing, won the most medals in the Games.
