Alpine skiing at the 1964 Winter Olympics

Alpine Skiing at the IX Olympic Winter Games
Venue	Patscherkofel Axamer Lizum Austria
Dates	January 30 - February 7, 1964
«1960	1968»

Alpine skiing at the 1964 Winter Olympics consisted of six events, held near Innsbruck, Austria, from January 30 to February 7, 1964.

The men's downhill was held on Patscherkofel (above Igls), the other five events at Axamer Lizum.

This was the first Olympics in which the finishing times were recorded in hundredths of a second, rather than tenths.

The Winter Olympics returned to Innsbruck just 12 years later in 1976, after Denver returned its winning bid in November 1972 (Innsbruck was awarded the 1976 games in February 1973).

World championships

From 1948-80, the alpine skiing events at the Winter Olympics also served as the World Championships, held every two years. With the addition of the giant slalom in 1952, the combined event was dropped as an Olympic event until 1988, but remained as a World Championship event. From 1952-80, World Championship medals were awarded in the combined event, which used the results from the downhill and slalom events.
