The decision to grant the city of Oslo the privilege of hosting the 1952\u00a0Vinter-OL<\/strong> was made public 5 years prior in Stockholm, Sweden.\u00a0 Oslo won over two other cities, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy and Lake Placid, New York.\u00a0 Oslo was the first capital city of a nation to host Vinter-OL<\/strong>.\u00a0 30\u00a0land<\/strong> (30 countries) participated in these winter games, totaling 694 participants (very male-heavy with 585 men and 109 women).\u00a0\u00a0 Amerikaner<\/strong> (American) Andrea Mead Lawrence vant 2 gullmedaljer<\/strong>\u00a0(won 2 gold medals) in slal\u00e5m<\/strong> (slalom) and\u00a0 storslal\u00e5m <\/strong>(giant slalom); she was the first Amerikaner<\/strong> and the first female to have ever won 2\u00a0gullmedaljer<\/strong>\u00a0in a single Olympics.\u00a0 Norwegian Hjalmar Andersen won 3\u00a0gullmedaljer<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0hurtigl\u00f8p<\/strong> (speed skating).<\/p>\n
