Figure skating
Lars Dresler was 20 years old at the time of the Calgary Olympics, and was making his only Olympic appearance.[6][7] The men's singles event in figure skating was held in three parts, from 17 to 20 February, compulsory figures, short program, and free skate. The compulsory figures counted 30% of the final ranking, the short program 20%, and the free skate 50% of a competitor's final total factored placements.[8] On 17 February, Dresler came in 14th place in the compulsory figures, out of 28 competitors.[9] The next day, he ranked 12th in the short program,[10] and on 20 February, he placed 15th in the free skate.[11] Using the weighting formula, he recorded a total factored placement of 28.2, which ranked him 14th overall.[8] The gold medal was won with a total factored placement of 3.0 by Brian Boitano of the United States, the silver was won by Brian Orser of Canada, and the bronze medal was earned by Viktor Petrenko of the Soviet Union.[8][12]
