MILAN (AP) — We’ve got this. Really, we do. Organizers of the 2030 French Alps Olympics worked Saturday to put a positive sheen on their project that already was on the tightest of hosting schedules before being rocked by inner turmoil.
The bid to win a medal is more elusive for some than others. In fact, 84 of the 122 teams have never won a medal in the Winter Olympics. The United States won its first medal in the 1924 Chamonix Olympics, the first winter games held in modern history, along with seven other teams, including Canada and Great Britain.
