The Kennedy Memorial Winter Games were an international multi-sport competition event held in Lake Placid, New York, from January 9 to March 15, 1970. The Games were held as a tribute to John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert F. Kennedy. President Kennedy had been an advocate of physical fitness and in 1963 urged the development of programs to allow American youth to participate in international sports competitions.[1] The program included competition in figure skating, bobsled, luge, ski jumping, cross-country skiing, and ice hockey.[1]
