At the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innbruck, Austria, Austrian Franz Klammer shocked the world by recording the fastest downhill skiing time in history. The crowd was so enthusiastic that he needed police protection.

The Jamaican bobsled team, competing for the first time at an Olympics games, stole the headlines at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada. The team crashed in the four-man event, but was cheered as they pushed the sled across the finish line.

The U.S. team was nearly shut out of gold medals at the 1968 Olympics in Grenoble, France. Peggy Fleming saved the day, winning the figure skating gold. It was the first skating win since the tragic Sabena plane crash that killed the entire U.S. figure skating team in 1961.

1988

In 1980, the U.S. team defeated the vastly superior Soviet Union hockey team, en route to the Olympic gold. The game, which the U.S. won 4-3, was dubbed, "The Miracle On Ice."

The biggest story of the 1994 games in Lillehammer was the conflict between American figure skaters Tonya Harding (right) and Nancy Kerrigan (left). A month before the games, Harding's ex-husband allegedly clubbed Kerrigan on the knee to keep her out of the games.

Kerrigan returned and won the silver medal.

Shaun White led a historic showing for the U.S. team at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

While White defended his gold in the Snowboarding Halfpipe competition, the team won an unprecedented 37 medals.

At the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, Jim Shea became a third generation Olympic champion when he won the gold in men's skeleton. His father competed in nordic and cross-country skiing events while his grandfather was Jack Shea, the famous Olympic speed skater.

At the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano Austrian Hermann Maier suffered a horrific crash during his first Olympic run. It was so bad that many thought he might be paralyzed.

To everyone's surprise, Maier returned to win 2 Olympic golds.

At the 2014 Sochi Winter Games, Sven Kramer dominated speedskating, winning 23 total medals (eight gold) in all events.
