• The Winter Olympic Games were held in St Moritz, Switzerland, in 1928, between Feb 11-19.

• 25 Nations with 464 participants competed in 14 events.

• The Winter Games in St Moritz were plagued with warm weather, slowing some events and even cancelling the 10,000-meter speed-skating race.

• Gillis Grafström of Sweden won the last of his three consecutive gold medals in figure skating in 1928; while Norwegian Sonja Henie will eventually equal that feat, winning the first of her three consecutive gold medals in figure skating at these Games at the age of 15 here.
