Norway was the host nation for the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. It was the second time that Norway had hosted the Winter Olympic Games, after the 1952 Games in Oslo. In 1994, Norway finished second in the medal ranking to Russia, with strong results in the skiing events.

During the games, Norway set a record: most gold medals won by a host nation, with 10.^[1] The United States tied it when they hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City,^[1] but Canada broke it during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.^[1]
