Olympic Winter Games 1936 / participant (Austria)

AUT

1	1	2

Austria took part in the IV Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 1936 with a delegation of 60 athletes.

For the first time alpine ski races were held. This led to a dispute with the International Ski Federation because, contrary to the FIS rules , the IOC did not allow ski instructors to take part as professionals. For this reason the Austrian (as well as the Swiss) ski association decided to boycott the games. For Austria, Heinrich Harrer should have participated in the alpine ski races (downhill and slalom).
