Hint: The answer is also where the games were actually held.
The correct answer is 'Lillehammer'
The Lillehammer 1994 Winter Olympics were interesting, because it was the only time that the Winter Olympics were held two years after the last ones. This is because in 1986, it was decided that the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics should not be held on the same year, but on alternating even-numbered years. This came into effect after the 1992 Winter Olympic games in Albertville, France.
Lillehammer beat off stiff competition from Anchorage, Östersund/Åre (in Sweden), and Sofia (capital of Bulgaria) to host the Winter Olympics in 1994. There were 67 countries competing, and a total of 1737 participants in 61 events (in six sports).
