Opening Ceremony HighlightsFebruary 11, 1928
The Opening Ceremony of the second Winter Olympics were simple but almost never occurred due to a large blizzard that hit the area the day before. Flags and decorations were ripped from their masts and makeshift decor was added prior to the ceremony. The ceremony took place on the ice hockey rink during the blizzard. Most notably, this would be the smallest attended opening ceremony in history.
