– officially known by the International Olympic Committee
as the XIV Olympic Winter Games – were a winter multi-sport event
held between 8 and 19 February 1984 in Sarajevo
, Yugoslavia (currently Bosnia and Herzegovina
). A total of 1,272 athletes, representing a record 49 National Olympic Committee
s (NOCs), competed in 39 events across 10 disciplines of 6 sports
. The official program was the same as that of the 1980 Winter Olympics
, with the addition of a 20-kilometer event in women's cross-country skiing. Disabled skiing
was featured for the first time
as an Olympic demonstration sport
.
The 117 Olympic medals in dispute at these Games were awarded to athletes from 17 NOCs. The athletes from the Soviet Union collected 25 medals
and secured their NOC a top spot in the overall medal count, ahead of East Germany (24 medals
) and Finland (13 medals
). East Germany, however, topped the gold medal count with nine medals, three more than those won by Soviet athletes. Finland, the United States and Sweden followed with four gold medals each. The host delegation
won the nation's first medal at the Winter Olympics, through alpine skier Jure Franko
's silver in the men's giant slalom event.
American skier Phil Mahre
, runner-up in 1980, won the slalom event and saw his twin brother Steve
secure the silver medal. In biathlon, Eirik Kvalfoss

of West Germany won six medals between them, each securing a complete set.
The Nordic countries displayed their strength in the cross-country skiing competition: from the 24 medals in dispute, 17 were won by athletes from Finland (8), Sweden (5), and Norway (4). Finnish skier Marja-Liisa Hämäläinen
won four medals, including a gold medal sweep in the three individual cross-country distances, becoming the most successful athlete at these Games. In the men's section, Gunde Svan

, a young figure skater from East Germany, narrowly defeated the reigning World champion, Rosalynn Sumners
of the United States, to collect the first of two successive Olympic gold medals. The British ice dancing pair, Torvill and Dean

The Soviet Union dominated the ice hockey competition
, winning every match to take their sixth Olympic gold in eight Winter Games. East German sledders fully demonstrated their prowess at the Trebević
track. Wolfgang Hoppe
and Dietmar Schauerhammer
clinched gold in both bobsleigh events, while Bernhard Lehmann
and Bogdan Musiol
secured both silvers. Led by Steffi Martin
, who won the first of her two back-to-back Olympic titles, East German lugers swept the women's singles medals. This show of strength was also observed in the women's speed skating, where East German athletes grabbed nine of the twelve medals in dispute. Four of these were won by Karin Enke
