The Celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the Grenoble Games sought to honour that which made these 1968 Winter Games the Modernity Games. These Games were the first to be broadcast worldwide on colour television. The first mascot appeared, and the first sculpture symposium was set up.

The COLJOG (Conservatory, Observatory and Laboratory of the Olympic Games in Grenoble) has been at work since 2000 to prepare the best anniversary possible. In collaboration with the City of Grenoble and the Department of Isère, for the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Olympic Games, a total of 47 events were put on or were supported by the association, across all Olympic sites. With the help of the Department of Isere’s Olympic Committee, the aim was to create something original, diverse and interesting. To learn more about Grenoble 50th Olympic Anniversary, click here!
