St. Moritz Winter Games Held for a second time in St. Moritz, Switzerland, as that city was untouched by the war. Men and women each have three alpine skiing events. The American Olympic Committee sends a hockey team, as does the American Hockey Association; the IOC bars either from being considered for a medal. Skeleton—a head-first version of the luge—appears for the first time since the previous St. Moritz Games 20 years earlier. American John Heaton wins the silver, as he had done the previous time.
