The 1992 Winter Olympics, also known as Albertville '92, occurred from February 8 to 23 in and around Albertville, France. It marked the last time the Winter and Summer Olympics were held in the same year. The games featured 18 events in Albertville and 39 events spread across nine nearby villages and resorts in Savoie. Sixty-four National Olympic Committees and 1,801 athletes participated, including the Unified Team and Germany. New events such as short track speed skating and freestyle skiing were introduced, alongside the debut of eight nations in the Winter Olympics. These Olympics also included demonstration sports like curling and ski ballet, and notably, featured the final outdoor speed skating rink.
The Democratic Republic of Afghanistan (DRA), later renamed the Republic of Afghanistan in 1987, was the official name of Afghanistan during the one-party rule of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) from 1978 to 1992. Throughout its existence, and particularly during the Soviet–Afghan War, the DRA depended significantly on support from the Soviet Union.
