Is there any type of main image anyone can get for this to make this look similar to the other pages of the Olympic Games? A program cover, official logo, etc.? Was there ever one created for these games?

Why does this article have a political category? Cancellation due to World War II is the reason?--DThomsen8 (talk) 23:54, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The heading of the infoboks says «IV Olympic Winter Games». Garmisch in 1936 was the 4th. Sapporo in 1940 would have been the 5th. When 1940 was cancelled, Cortina in 1944 became the 5th.

1944 was also cancelled, so St. Moritz in 1948 became the actual 5th, but IV in 1944 is wrong no matter what. 1000mm (talk) 16:34, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
