The 1952 Winter Olympics officially known as the VI Olympic Winter Games (French: Les VIes Jeux olympiques d’hiver) took place in Oslo Norway from 14 to 25 February. Discussions about Oslo hosting the Winter Olympic Games began as early as 1935; the city wanted to host the 1948 Games but World War II made that impossible. Instead Oslo won the right to host the 1952 Games in a contest that included Cortina d’Ampezzo in Italy and Lake Placid in the United States.
