Since the Winter Games began, 55 out of 56 gold medals in the men's nordic skiing events have been won by
competitors from Scandinavia or the former Soviet Union. For teams from warm weather countries, cross-country
skiing can pose problems, At the Calgary Games in 1988, one competitor in the 50-kilometre even was so slow
that race officials feared he was lost and sent out a search party. Roberto Alvarez of Mexico had never skied more
than 20 kilometres before and finished 61st and last 52 minutes behind the 60th place.
