1960: Squaw Valley
American downhill skier Penny Pitou, who won two silver medals at the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, California, is seen wearing a zip-up Team U.S.A. jacket with her name embroidered on it. When the owner of Squaw Valley, Alexander Cushing, put forth the bid to the International Olympic Committee in 1955, the resort only consisted of a few ski runs and had to be completely transformed into a venue worthy of the games, which included the first Olympic Village as well opening and closing ceremonies produced by Walt Disney himself.
