Janica Kostelić ( Croatian pronunciation : [ janitsa kǒstelitɕ ] ; [ vowel length and tone ? ] born 5 January 1982 ) is a former World Cup alpine ski racer and four-time Olympic gold medalist from Croatia . In addition to the Olympics , she won five gold medals at the World Championships . In World Cup competition , she won thirty individual races , three overall titles , three slalom titles , and four ( unofficial ) combined titles . Kostelic 's accomplishments in professional skiing have led some commentators , writers , and fellow ski racers to regard her as the greatest female ski racer of all time . Kostelić is the only woman to win four gold medals in alpine skiing at the Winter Olympics ( in 2002 and 2006 ) , and the only woman to win three alpine skiing gold medals in one Olympics ( 2002 ) . Kostelić was the World Cup overall champion in 2001 , 2003 and 2006 . On 15 January 2006 , Kostelić became the third woman in World Cup history ( after Swede Pernilla Wiberg and Austrian Petra Kronberger ) to win World Cup races in all of the sport 's five disciplines . On 5 February 2006 Kostelić became the second female skier ( after Petra Kronberger ) to win all five disciplines in one season . In the summer of 2006 , she decided to not compete in the 2007 season , due to chronic knee and back pain . She had endured ten knee surgeries and thyroid surgery during her career . Following a year away from competition , Kostelić announced her retirement from racing in April 2007 , at just 25 years old .
The 2002 Winter Olympics , officially the XIX Olympic Winter Games and commonly known as Salt Lake 2002 , was a winter multi-sport event that was celebrated from 8 to 24 February 2002 in and around Salt Lake City , Utah , United States . 2,399 athletes from 78 nations participated in 78 events in fifteen disciplines , held throughout 165 sporting sessions . The 2002 Winter Olympics and the 2002 Paralympic Games were both organized by the Salt Lake Organizing Committee ( SLOC ) , the first time in Olympic and Paralympic history that both events were organized by a single committee . Utah became the fifth state in the United States to host the Olympic Games , after Missouri , New York , California , and Georgia . These were the first Olympic Games under the IOC presidency of Jacques Rogge . The opening ceremony was held on February 8 , 2002 , and sporting competitions were held up until the closing ceremony on February 24 , 2002 . Production for both ceremonies was designed by Seven Nielsen , and music for both ceremonies was directed by Mark Watters . Salt Lake City became the most populous area ever to have hosted the Winter Olympics , although the two subsequent host cities ' populations were larger . Following a trend , the 2002 Olympic Winter Games were also larger than all prior Winter Games , with 10 more events than the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano , Japan . Norway won the most gold medals while Germany won the most number of medals . The Salt Lake Games faced a bribery scandal and some local opposition during the bid . Nevertheless , from sporting and business standpoints , this was one of the most successful Winter Olympiads in history ; records were set in both the broadcasting and marketing programs .
Alpine skiing at the 2002 Winter Olympics consisted of ten events held February 10-23 in the United States near Salt Lake City , Utah . The downhill , super-G , and combined events were held at Snowbasin , the giant slaloms at Park City , and the slaloms at adjacent Deer Valley .

The 2006 Winter Olympics , officially known as the XX Olympic Winter Games ( Italian : XX Giochi olimpici invernali ) and commonly known as Turin 2006 or Torino 2006 , was a winter multi-sport event which was held in Turin , Piedmont , Italy from February 10 to 26 , 2006 . This marked the second time that Italy had hosted the Winter Olympic Games , the first being the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo . Italy also hosted the Summer Olympics in 1960 in Rome . Turin was selected as the host city for the 2006 Games in June 1999 . The official motto of the XX Olympic Winter Games was Passion lives here . The official logo depicts a stylized profile of the Mole Antonelliana building , drawn in white and blue ice crystals , signifying the snow and the sky . The crystal web was also meant to portray the web of new technologies and the Olympic spirit of community . The Olympic mascots of the Games were Neve ( snow in Italian ) , a female snowball , and Gliz , a male ice cube . Italy will host the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo 20 years after these games .
Alpine skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics consisted of ten events , held at Sestriere and Cesana-San Sicario , Italy . The races were held 12-25 February 2006 .
Originally scheduled to run on 17 February , the downhill portion of the Women 's combined was postponed due to high winds . The slalom was held on 17 February and the downhill portion was on Saturday , 18 February . Janica Kostelić was both defending World and Olympic champion , and she led the aggregate World Cup standings . Janica also won the only combined race leading into the championships in St. Moritz , Switzerland and she also won all combined races held in World Cup since the last Olympic games .
The women 's super-G of the 2006 Winter Olympics was held at San Sicario , Italy , on Monday , 20 February ; it was delayed a day due to poor weather conditions . Defending Olympic champion Daniela Ceccarelli was 37th in the current season 's World Cup downhill standings , headed by Michaela Dorfmeister from Austria , followed by teammate Alexandra Meissnitzer . Anja Pärson of Sweden was defending world champion and was fourth in the current season 's super-G standings .

Ivica Kostelić ( pronounced [ ˈiʋitsa ˈkɔstɛlitɕ ] ; born 23 November 1979 ) is a former World Cup alpine ski racer from Croatia . He specialized in slalom and combined , but was also one of the few alpine World Cup ski racers able to score points in all disciplines . He is the brother of skiing champion Janica Kostelić . In his career he was coached by his father Ante Kostelić , as well as by Kristian Ghedina and Tomislav Krstičević . After considerable success in junior competitions , Kostelić 's World Cup career alternated between triumph and injury . His main accomplishments include a World Championship gold medal in slalom in 2003 , Olympic silver medal in slalom in 2010 , Olympic silver medals in combined in 2006 ( traditional combined ) , 2010 ( super combined ) and 2014 , as well as the overall World Cup title in 2011 . Kostelić scored a total of 26 World Cup race victories and a total of 59 World Cup podiums during his career ( as of February 2014 [ update ] ) . He won the slalom World Cup title in 2002 and 2011 , and the combined World Cup title in 2011 and 2012 . Since 2008 , he finished among the top six in the overall World Cup standings each season ( 2008 : sixth ; 2009 : fourth ; 2010 : fifth ; 2011 : first ; 2012 : fourth ; 2013 : fifth ) . He also scored points in all disciplines each of those seasons , and his best race results were a seventh place in downhill , a second place in giant slalom , and victories in all other disciplines ( 11 in slalom , 1 in parallel-slalom , 2 in combined , 4 in super combined , and 1 in super-G ) . Ivica Kostelić is currently one of the coaches the Croatian national team .
The men 's combined was held on Tuesday , 14 February , two days after the downhill . The combined competition , as the name suggests , is a combination where the times in the downhill racing and the slalom events are added . One run of downhill and two runs of slalom are used to determine overall ranking in the combined event . All three runs were held in a single day . Norway 's Kjetil André Aamodt was defending Olympic champion from Salt Lake City in 2002 , while Benjamin Raich of Austria was the reigning world champion . Raich led the Combined standings on the World Cup entering the Olympics , followed by Michael Walchhofer ( Austria ) and Bode Miller ( USA ) in a tie for second . Miller , the leader after the downhill portion , was disqualified in the first slalom run for straddling a gate . This left Raich in the lead going into the final run of slalom , followed by Ivica Kostelić and young American Ted Ligety . Ligety scorched the final run for the gold medal , while Raich skied out . Aamodt did not start the event after a knee injury , and Filip Trejbal had to withdraw after a spectacular crash which delayed the event for a prolonged period . These were the last Olympics to use the traditional combined format ( one downhill run and two slalom runs ) . Starting in 2010 , the Olympics are scheduled to switch to the super-combined format ( one run each of downhill & slalom ) for the combined event .
The 2010 Winter Olympics , officially known as the XXI Olympic Winter Games ( French : Les XXIes Jeux olympiques d'hiver ) and commonly known as Vancouver 2010 , informally the 21st Winter Olympics , was an international winter multi-sport event that was held from 12 to 28 February 2010 in Vancouver , British Columbia , Canada , with some events held in the surrounding suburbs of Richmond , West Vancouver and the University Endowment Lands , and in the nearby resort town of Whistler . Approximately 2,600 athletes from 82 nations participated in 86 events in fifteen disciplines . Both the Olympic and Paralympic Games were organized by the Vancouver Organizing Committee ( VANOC ) , headed by John Furlong . The 2010 Winter Olympics were the third Olympics hosted by Canada and the first by the province of British Columbia . Canada hosted the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal , Quebec , and the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary , Alberta . Metro Vancouver is the largest metropolitan area to host the Winter Olympics , although Calgary is the largest city to host the Winter Olympics . They will both be surpassed by Beijing in 2022 . Following Olympic tradition , the incumbent mayor of Vancouver Sam Sullivan received the Olympic flag during the closing ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin , Italy . The flag was raised on February 28 , 2006 , in a special ceremony and was on display at Vancouver City Hall until the Olympic opening ceremony . The event was officially opened by Governor General Michaëlle Jean , who was accompanied by the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge . For the first time , Canada won gold in an official sport at an Olympic Games hosted at home , having failed to do so at both the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal and the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary ( although Canada won the woman 's curling event in Calgary when it was still only a demonstration sport ) . Canada clinched their first gold medal on the second day of the competition and first topped the gold medal tally on the second to last day of competition and went on to become the first host nation since Norway in 1952 to lead the gold medal count .
Alpine skiing at the 2010 Winter Olympics was held in Canada at Whistler Creekside in Whistler , British Columbia , north of Vancouver . The ten events were scheduled for February 13-27 ; weather delayed the first event , the men 's downhill , two days until Monday , February 15 .
The men 's super combined competition of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics was held at Whistler Creekside in Whistler , British Columbia . The competition was scheduled for February 16 , but was postponed due to weather delays in preceding races ; it was held five days later on February 21 . American athlete Bode Miller won his only Olympic gold medal , Ivica Kostelić of Croatia won silver , and Silvan Zurbriggen of Switzerland took the bronze . One major change in this event for the 2010 Olympics was the switch from a traditional dedicated combined ( K ) , taking place over one or two days and involving a downhill run and two slalom runs ( as the combined had been since its reintroduction to the Olympics in 1988 ) , to a one-day super combined ( SC ) , consisting of a downhill run in the morning and one slalom run in the afternoon . The super combined format lessens the advantage of the slalom specialists .
The men 's slalom competition of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics was held at Whistler Creekside in Whistler , British Columbia , on February 27 , 2010 . Giuliano Razzoli of Italy won the gold and Ivica Kostelić of Croatia picked up his second silver medal of these Olympics ; André Myhrer of Sweden took the bronze . The last alpine event of the 2010 Olympics was held in challenging weather conditions , which included rain . The start was lowered 66 vertical feet ( 20 m ) , the same start as the women 's race . More than 40 racers failed to complete the first run , including ten of the first thirty .
Jakov Fak ( born 1 August 1987 ) is a biathlete born in Croatia and competing for Slovenia since 2010 . As a member of the Croatian biathlon team , Fak won bronze medals at the 2009 World Championships and at the 2010 Winter Olympics where he was also the Croatian flag bearer at the opening ceremony . In 2010 , Fak switched his citizenship and started competing for Slovenia . With the Slovenian team , Fak won four medals at the World Championships , including two gold , and a silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics . In addition , Fak has eight victories in the World Cup .
The biathlon competition at the 2010 Winter Olympics were held at Whistler Olympic Park in Whistler , British Columbia . The events were held between the 13th and 26 February 2010 . The men 's individual biathlon was notable for the awarding of two silver medals due to two competitors finishing with a tie ( 48:32.0 ) . No bronze medal was awarded in this event .
The men 's sprint competition of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics was held at Whistler Olympic Park in Whistler , British Columbia on February 14 , 2010 .
The 2014 Winter Olympics , officially called the XXII Olympic Winter Games ( French : Les XXIIes Jeux olympiques d'hiver ) ( Russian : XXII Олимпийские зимние игры , tr . XXII Olimpiyskiye zimniye igry ) and commonly known as Sochi 2014 , was an international winter multi-sport event that was held from 7 to 23 February 2014 in Sochi , Krasnodar Krai , Russia , with opening rounds in certain events held on the eve of the opening ceremony , 6 February 2014 . Both the Olympics and 2014 Winter Paralympics were organized by the Sochi Organizing Committee ( SOOC ) . Sochi was selected as the host city in July 2007 , during the 119th IOC Session held in Guatemala City . It was the first Olympics to be held in a CIS state since the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 . The Soviet Union was previously the host nation for the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow . These were the first Olympic Games under the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) presidency of Thomas Bach . A record 98 events in fifteen winter sport disciplines were held during the Games . A number of new competitions - a total of twelve accounting for gender - were held during the Games , including biathlon mixed relay , women 's ski jumping , mixed-team figure skating , mixed-team luge , half-pipe skiing , ski and snowboard slopestyle , and snowboard parallel slalom . The events were held around two clusters of new venues : an Olympic Park constructed in Sochi 's Imeretinsky Valley on the coast of the Black Sea , with Fisht Olympic Stadium , and the Games ' indoor venues located within walking distance , and snow events in the resort settlement of Krasnaya Polyana . The 2014 Winter Olympics were the most expensive Games in the history of the Olympics . While originally budgeted at US $ 12 billion , major cost overruns , caused this figure to expand to US $ 51 billion , more than three times the cost of the 2012 London Olympics and even surpassing the estimated $ 44 billion cost of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing .
