Squaw Valley 1960

When Alexander Cushing put forward Squaw Valley's bid for the 1960 Games to the International Olympic Committee in 1955, the resort did not yet exist. He was the only inhabitant and homeowner in the whole place (300km from San Francisco and 1,900m above sea level). --- Squaw Valley 1960 - Ice hockey infrastructure.

The officials of the Squaw Valley 1960 Games, unsure as to whether a skier had missed a gate in the men's slalom, asked CBS-TV if they could review a videotape of the race. This gave CBS the idea to invent the now ubiquitous "instant replay." --- Squaw Valley 1960 - Adrien Duvillard (FRA) - Downhill skiing.
