Lillehammer Olympic Organizing Committee, 1994

Lilliehammer Olympic Organizing COmmittee, 1994

The Lillehammer Olympic Organizing Committee (LOOC) is convening to make crucial decisions in order to ensure the success and impact of the 1994 Winter Olympic Games. Occurring only two years after the previous games in Albertville due to calendar changes, Lillehammer will be the first to be held in a different year than the Summer Olympics. As such, the LOOC has the unique opportunity to reframe the Winter Olympics as a distinct event that’s not just the opening act to the Summer Olympics and to heighten the social and economic benefits that Lillehammer and Norway would receive from hosting an Olympic Games. The recent Harding-Harrigan scandal has also raised the visibility of the games - all eyes will be on Lillehammer. Delegates will create resolutions that make pivotal decisions surrounding qualifying rules, sustainability, how to broadcast the games, design and production, and addressing international conflict.
