Sell Your Bronze 1928 St Moritz Olympics Medal
The 1928 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland united 464 athletes from 25 countries. This Olympics is remembered for its unfavorable weather due to foehn, a strong and warm wind that increased temperatures to above 75 degrees F at some events. There were only 14 events as some had to be canceled due to poor weather. The skeleton, the head-first and prone sledding event that is regarded as the first sliding sport, made its first appearance at the Winter Olympics of 1928.
