Birkebeineren Ski Stadium (Norwegian: "Birkebeineren skistadion" ) is a cross-country skiing and biathlon venue located in Lillehammer, Norway.
 Situated 3 km from the town center and at 485 m above mean sea level, it has two stadium areas, one for cross-country and one for biathlon.
 The former has a capacity for 31,000 spectators, and the latter for 13,500.
 The venue was built for the 1994 Winter Olympics, costing 83.6 million Norwegian krone (NOK).
 It was subsequently used by the 1994 Winter Paralympics for Paralympic Nordic skiing and Paralympic biathlon.
 After the games, ownership was transferred to the municipal Lillehammer Olympiapark.
 The venue has since been used for one Biathlon World Cup, three FIS Cross-Country World Cup and nine FIS Nordic Combined World Cup tournaments, the latter with the ski jumping competition taking place at the nearby Lysgårdsbakkene Ski Jumping Arena.
 Birkebeineren is scheduled to host the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics.
Liv Johanne Ullmann (born 16 December 1938) is a Norwegian actress and film director.
 She is known as one of the "muses" of Swedish director Ingmar Bergman.
Freestyle skiing is one of the six skiing disciplines contested at the Winter Olympic Games, and one of the youngest.
 In 1924, the first Winter Olympics featured Nordic skiing disciplines (cross-country skiing, ski jumping, and Nordic combined), while alpine skiing was first contested in 1936.
 Only at the 1992 Winter Olympics, in Albertville, France, were freestyle skiing events first held as official medal events.
 Before that, freestyle skiing was contested at the 1988 Winter Olympics as a demonstration sport, consisting of events for both men and women in three variants: moguls, aerials and ski ballet.
 In Albertville, moguls was the first-ever official freestyle skiing medal event; aerials and ski ballet were also held but still as demonstration events.
 The growing popularity of aerials convinced the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to add this freestyle discipline to the 1994 Winter Olympics official program.
 Moguls and aerials have thus been contested at every Winter Games since.
 Ski cross inclusion in the Winter Olympics program was approved at an IOC Executive Board meeting in November 2006, and the first events were held at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Kristins Hall is an arena located at Stampesletta in Lillehammer, Norway.
 It consist of an ice rink, a combined handball and floorball court, and a curling rink.
 The venue, owned and operated by the Lillehammer Municipality, opened in 1988 and cost 65 million Norwegian krone (NOK) to build.
 One of the motivations for its construction was to help Lillehammer's bid to be selected as the host of the 1994 Winter Olympics.
 The ice rink has a capacity for 3,194 spectators and is the home rink of GET-ligaen hockey club Lillehammer IK.
 Kristins Hall is located next to the larger Håkons Hall, which opened in 1993.
 During the 1994 Winter Olympics, Kristins Hall was a training rink, and subsequently hosted the ice sledge hockey tournament at the 1994 Winter Paralympics.
 The venue also co-hosted Group B of the 1989 World Ice Hockey Championships.
The 1994 Winter Olympics closing ceremony was held in Lysgårdsbakken in Lillehammer, Norway on 27 February 1994.
 All spectators were handed a flashlight with the inscription "Remember Sarajevo"—the host of the 1984 Winter Olympics which was at the heart of the Bosnian War.
 The first entrants on the stage were Liv Ullmann and Thor Heyerdal, followed by the athletes' precession.
 After the flag had been transferred to Nagano mayor Tasuka Tsukada, speeches were held by Lillehammer mayor Audun Tron, Gerhard Heiberg and Juan Antonio Samaranch.
 The latter used his speech to remind about Sarajevo's situation, before giving Heiberg IOC's gold medal, and declaring the games "the best Olympic Winter Games ever".
 Artistic presentations followed with many of the themes from the opening ceremony.
 The 1998 Winter Olympics' mascots, the Snowlets, was also presented.
 Of the 2,200 people performing in the opening and closing ceremonies, only 50 were professionals.
 The Anthems of Greece, Norway, and Japan were heard there.
The 1994 Winter Olympics (Norwegian: "Olympiske vinterleker 1994" ), officially known as the XVII Olympic Winter Games (French: Les "XVIIes Jeux olympiques d'hiver"), was a winter multi-sport event celebrated from 12 to 27 February 1994 in and around Lillehammer, Norway.
 Lillehammer failed to win the bid for the 1992 event, losing to Albertville respectively.
 Lillehammer was awarded the 1994 Winter Olympics in 1988, after beating Anchorage, United States; Östersund, Sweden; and Sofia, Bulgaria.
 Lillehammer is the northernmost city to ever host the Winter Games.
 The Games were the first to be held in a different year from the Summer Olympics, the first and only one to be held two years after the previous winter games, and the most recent to be held in a small town.
 The Games were the second Winter Olympics hosted in Norway, after the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo, and the fourth Olympics in the Nordic countries, after the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden, and the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, Finland.
