The 1960 Winter Olympics, officially known as the VIII Olympic Winter Games and also known as Squaw Valley 1960, were an international winter multi-sport event held from February 18 to 28, 1960, at the Squaw Valley Resort (now known as Palisades Tahoe) in Squaw Valley (now known as Olympic Valley), California, United States. A total of 665 athletes representing 30 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated, including South Africa who took part in the Winter Games for the first time. It was the first time all five continents represented in the Olympic rings (Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania) were represented in the Winter Games.
Athletes representing 14 NOCs received at least one medal, with 10 NOCs winning at least one gold medal.
Medal table
The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC conventional sorting in its published medal tables. The table uses the Olympic medal table sorting method. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won, where a nation is an entity represented by a NOC. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their IOC country code.
Two gold medals and no silver medals were awarded in the men's 1500 metres speed skating event due to a tie for first place.
