1968 Grenoble Winter Games
1293 Athletes, 37 Countries, 35 Events

The 1968 Winter Olympics were the first to be broadcast in color to its worldwide audience. Those watching were able to see a few athletes dominate the competition. French skier, JeanClaude Killy, wowed his home crowd with a gold in each alpine skiing event, leading some to call the 1968 Games the 'Killylmpics.' Italy won both the twoman and fourman bobsled races. Both women's crosscountry skiing races were won by Toini Gustafsson of Sweden. The United States won seven medals, their only gold won by Peggy Fleming in the individual figure skating competition.

Representing the Ivy League were five athletes: Robert Gaudreau (Brown 1966), Edward F. Gillette (Dartmouth 1967), Edward G. Williams (Dartmouth 1964), John Misha Petkevich (Harvard 1973), and Jack Morrison (Yale 1967).

Gaudreau and Morrison skated for the U.S. hockey team that finished in sixth place at Grenoble. Morrison was just coming off what some have called the 'Morrison Era' of Yale hockey. Morrison is also known for being a good friend of President George W. Bush; Morrison was his bridge partner and catcher on the Elis' baseball team.

Gillette and Williams kept up the Dartmouth skiing tradition. Gillette competed in just skiing events, while Williams participated in the 20kilometer biathlon and the 4x7.5kilometer biathlon. The Winter Olympics biathlon involves skiing and shooting. Williams helped the US team to an eighthplace finish in the relay.

Petkevich, continuing the tradition of Crimson figure skaters competing at the Winter Games, placed sixth in the men's individual competition. He would return to the Olympics four years later, improving his position and placing fifth. In his career, Petkevich also won the U.S. and North American Figure Skating Championships. After Harvard, he earned a doctorate in cell biology at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. Petkevich would also return to Harvard as a fellow in the music department. Today, he is the Chairman and CEO of The Petkevich Group.

The 1968 Winter Games marked the first Olympics where the IOC tested for femininity and drug use.
