1984 Sarajevo Winter Games1490 Athletes, 49 Countries, 40 Events The 1984 Sarajevo Games made history as it was the first time that the Winter Olympics took place in a socialist country. Twelve Ivy Leaguers made the trip to Sarajevo, including eight from Dartmouth.
The Dartmouth skiers at the 1984 Games were Landis S. Arnold '82, Timothy Caldwell '76, Dennis R. McGrane '84, and Gale H. Shaw, III '85. The best finish out of this group was for Caldwell, who helped the US 4x10kilometer relay team finish in eighth place. This was Caldwell's fourth and last Olympic experience, he started with the 1972 Sapporo Games. McGrane and 'Tiger' Shaw both returned to the 1988 Calgary Games. Today, Arnold and McGrane coach ski jumping in Winter Park, Colo.
The Big Green also made up sixty percent of the U.S. biathlon team at the Sarajevo Games. William K. Carow '80, Glenn R. Eberle '85, and Donald M. Nielson, Jr. '74 were on the fivemember team. Carow and Nielson helped the 4x7.5kilometer relay team finish in 11th place. Carow would return for the 1988 Calgary Games. Today, Eberle owns a company called Eberlestock, through which he designs gunstock for biathletes and hunting.
Judy Rabinowitz (Harvard, 1980), a crosscountry skier, returned to the Olympics. She became the first female from the Ivy League to compete in a Winter Olympic sport other than figure skating. In the 1984 Games, she helped the U.S. Women's 4x5kilometer relay team place seventh.
Ivy Leaguers populated the ice once again in 1984, after missing out on the 1980 'Miracle on Ice' team. Darren Eliot (Cornell, 1983) and Carey J. Wilson (Dartmouth, 1983) skated for the Canadian team that finished in fourth place with a record of 43. Both enjoyed successful NHL careers. Today, Eliot is hockey commentator on television and in print, and Wilson runs a hockey development program in Canada.
The U.S. team, which finished in seventh place, featured brothers Mark (Harvard, 1984) and Scott (Harvard, 1986) Fusco. Mark was just coming off winning the Hobey Baker Award, presented to college hockey's top player. Scott would win the award in 1986. The Fuscos are the only brothers to win the award. Mark played a season in the NHL, while Scott played professionally in Switzerland for one year. Both left hockey fairly early, and now get their fill through pickup games at Harvard's Bright Arena on Sunday's, often with their coach Bill Cleary (Harvard, 1956). Today, both work for Ajilon Consulting, an information technology provider. Mark is the company's President and Chief Operating Officer (COO).
