List of 1968 Winter Olympics medal winners
The 1968 Winter Olympics, officially known as the X Olympic Winter Games, was a winter multi-sport event held in Grenoble, France, from 6 to 18 February 1968. A total of 1,158 athletes representing 37 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated in 35 events from 10 different sports and disciplines.[1] The Olympic programme was largely unchanged from four years prior in Innsbruck; one event was added, a relay event in biathlon.[2]
competed together in the three prior Winter Olympics. Both nations won gold medals, their first competing as different nations.[4] Czechoslovakia won its first gold Winter Olympics medal, achieved by Jiří Raška in the ski jumping normal hill event.[5] Romania won its first, and as of the 2018 Winter Olympics, only medal in a Winter Olympics in the two-man bobsleigh event.[6][7]
Peggy Flemming won the gold medal in ladies' singles; this came a mere seven years after the 1961 crash of Sabena Flight 548 that killed the entire US figure skating team.[11]
