Individual Sport Pins Many pins depict the various Olympic sports. Collectors will find many styles of sports pins, some of which are associated with a particular Olympics, others with a country or one of the sports federations. Some are associated with corporate sponsorship. I have never seen so many pins from one Olympiad as from the 1980 summer games in Moscow. They are made of a lightweight metal, possibly aluminum, and come in sets of different shapes and sizes. My favorite is the dangle-style, like the field hockey pin above left. The others shown are yachting, shooting, gymnastics, equestrian, water polo, and fencing. Here are a couple sport team pins I especially like. The first is a bilingual Russian diving team pin from Atlanta, very interesting in shape and styling. The other is a more traditional USA track and field pin, undated but associated with the sponsorship of Coca-Cola. When Vi and I started collecting pins in Atlanta, we wanted to have pins depicting the events we attended: rowing, basketball, and baseball. Vi chose pins with the green Atlanta '96 logo, like the rowing pin at far left. I preferred the design of this basketball pin which, unlike others I had seen, did not have a figure of a basketball player. The games we saw were women's, but most of the pins I saw depicted a man.

Alpine Skiing People began strapping skis to their feet as far back as 5,000 years ago. Englishman Sir Arnold Lunn and Austrian Hannes Schneider invented modern alpine racing. Lunn, a son of a London travel agent, spent his years traveling through the Alps and envisioning racing through the majestic range. Lunn organized the first slalom in 1922 in Muerren, Switzerland, and joined forces with Schneider two years later to organize the race that would become the first Olympic alpine event. Competition Interesting Facts Learn More Other Sports ... Links Competition Alpine skiing is among the most exciting Olympics events and was introduced to the Olympic program at the 1936 Garmisch-Partenkirchen Games with a men's and women's combined event, featuring a downhill and two slalom runs. After the cancellation of the following two Games because of war, alpine skiing returned to St. Moritz with a program of six events. The Oslo Games in 1952 welcomed giant slalom to the program and marked the departure of the combined event. The combined event did not return until 1988.
