For the Winter Olympics, there are 22 venues that have been or will be used for cross-country skiing. The first events took near the main stadium. In 1936, the first efforts to hold all of Nordic skiing (Nordic combined, ski jumping) in one location took place.[1] This was repeated in 1952.[2] For the 1956 games, the venue was among the first in the Winter Olympics to meet the television needs of RAI, Italy's national broadcaster.[3] The 1956 venue was constructed in an oblong 250 by 44 m (820 by 144 ft) area in an east-west direction with the Grand Stands facing south.[3] A temporary venue was created for the 1960 Games which also included biathlon for the first time.[4] The first permanent Olympic venue in cross-country skiing took place in 1980.[5] For all of Nordic skiing and biathlon, the first time they were in the same location was at the 2010 Games.[6]
