The XIV Olympic Winter Games, commonly known as Sarajevo '84, took place from February 8 to 19, 1984, in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. It marked the first Winter Olympics held in a Slavic-speaking country and the only one in a communist nation until the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China. Despite initial weather disruptions, the event brought together 1272 athletes from 49 countries, showcasing six sports across thirty-nine official events. Notable achievements included Finland's Marja-Liisa Hämäläinen winning three individual cross-country skiing races, and Yugoslavia earning its first Winter Games medal. East Germany dominated the medal table, particularly in women's speed skating and bobsleigh, with twenty-four medals, including nine golds. Despite the Games' success, the subsequent Yugoslav War devastated the city and Olympic facilities, leaving some sites abandoned, like the former bobsleigh/luge track.
