Norway won the most medals, the first time a country other than the USSR had done so. Gender tests for women were introduced, as were doping controls for both men and women. The Grenoble Games were also the first to be broadcast in colour. French hero Jean-Claude Killy swept the men’s Alpine events, but only after great controversy. Killy’s Austrian rival, Karl Schranz, claimed that a race official crossed his path during the slalom race, causing him to skid to a halt. Given a restart, Schranz beat Killy’s time. However, a Jury of Appeal disqualified Schranz and gave the victory to Killy. Toini Gustafsson of Sweden starred in women’s cross-country skiing, winning both individual races and earning a silver medal in the relay. Lyudmila Belousova and Oleg Protopopov, an elegant married couple from the USSR, successfully defended their pairs figure skating title. Eugenio Monti of Italy piloted his two-man and four-man bobsleighs to gold medals. Vladimir Belousov (USSR) and Jiri Raska (TCH) were first and second in the large hill ski jump, setting the bar at 100 metres for the first time in the history of the Games. Despite very changeable conditions (a 20° difference), Czech Jiri Raska also won the normal hill ski jump event. Appearance of a non-official mascot called "Schuss". He was portrayed as a little cartoon-like character on skis. The Grenoble Games were the first Winter Olympic Games to be broadcast in colour. The pictogramme of the relevant sport appeared on the Olympic medals. Owing to an increase in temperature and the track being exposed to too much sun, the luge events were delayed and could not be continued to the end, despite the fact that they were spread out over 12 days. A similar misfortune also befell the bobsleigh events, although they took place on another track. Each time the final ranking was established after the third round, as the fourth had to be cancelled. In figure skating, owing to the high number of competitors, the events (compulsory figures) began very early in the morning at 6 a.m., 6:30 a.m. or 7 a.m., depending on the category. In 1967, the engineers responsible for the speed skating track discovered that using frozen demineralised water produced a faster track than tap water. Thus, many world and Olympic records were beaten at these Games, despite the weather conditions not being too favourable. 6 February 1968, Grenoble. Opening Ceremony.

organization who was looking to expand his knowledge as a project manager Jallon enrolled in the MBA program at Grenoble Ecole de Management He could not have found a better program if he’d traveled halfway round the world — something he didn’t have to do nestled at the base of the Alps in southeastern France Pierre Jallon: “I started the MBA to have a much better understanding of the (tech) ecosystem globally — not only the research Grenoble is the youngest of the nearly three dozen Business Schools in France This partly explains its MBA program’s energetic reputation: GEM is known for hands-on and experiential learning with peerless tech and sustainability bona fides — an agile institution where the new is quickly and skillfully adapted That made it the perfect landing place for Pierre Jallon who started his career at French government-funded technological research organization CEA-Leti working in micro-electronic nanotechnologies but who wanted to upskill on the business side of the equation “I discovered a lot of things about how you run a business about finance,” Jallon says of his experience in the GEM MBA “But I think the most important learning for me were about management of innovation And at a certain level of certain positions you need to have a certain understanding of the finance and all this kind of stuff I used to be an expert in my field in the research center There was a trend to develop new companies and new startups based on innovative technology I started the MBA to have a much better understanding of the ecosystem globally — not only the research Monin became dean of programs at Grenoble in March 2023 He spent more than 30 years at emlyon Business School in faculty and leadership positions before joining SKEMA Business School in Paris in the fall of 2020 as Vice-Dean of faculty and research “I moved to Paris at the age of 50 with my wife,” he says old enough not to have our children at home and she was looking for someone with experience to act as her “right arm.” With decades of experience at two of the top seven B-schools in France and that was a very exciting challenge of getting a new flavor to the school After 30 years’ experience in several domains And Grenoble — it’s an absolutely unique place.” Philippe Monin: “We want to attract scientists from all over the world to come and study for a year and stay here and take a job The unemployment rate in Grenoble is less than 4%.” Monin has overseen the transformation and relaunch of many elements of the school This fall comes one of the biggest changes yet CEA and GEM are close partners of more than four decades the agency created what was then the world’s largest synchrotron a type of particle accelerator useful for research in the sciences That sparked the creation of a constellation of tech companies around the region Grenoble’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry decided to create a business school “Our campus sits 2.7 kilometers from this accelerator industries in three tech domains: microelectronics and artificial intelligence applied to industry “These industries are the outcome of earlier industries from the Industrial Revolution because the continuity: There was free energy with hydroelectricity with the snow of the mountains so it was a natural evolution to look at these atomic energy centers here “Grenoble is a roughly 150,000-inhabitant city it’s a bit less than half a million inhabitants But this territory receives around 12% of all French public investment in R&D Grenoble offers an MBA, ranked 96th in the most recent Financial Times Global MBA list and hands-on learning converge in an international environment It has a host of specialized master’s programs as well including a Master in Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Advanced Master in Technology Management and Responsible Innovation Its new Tech EMBA has even greater ambitions — and greater potential reward for its graduates The program is divided into three parts: One-third is finance and leadership management; another third is a deep understanding of the scientific verticals including energy — alternative energy and microelectronics “We will visit all the local infrastructures,” Philippe Monin says The final third will be about business development with a strong emphasis on negotiating large deals: franchising because scientific companies keep negotiating and signing agreements on undefined technologies still under development “You will not have the traditional corporate finance and investing classes but you’ll have those private equity “We see this program and we see our school as a tool to support the development of the region,” Monin says GEM needs to be a solution for talent retention and talent attractiveness We want to retain the talents that are already in Grenoble in the region: for instance We have hundreds of people who have doctoral degrees in math and those people take managerial responsibilities they don’t have appropriate offerings an Executive MBA focused on technology would be primarily for those people we want to attract scientists from all over the world to come and study for a year and stay here and take a job The unemployment rate in Grenoble is less than 4% STMicroelectronics recruited 300 engineers and 1,000 technicians more than the supply of the engineering schools in the place we are looking for people who would come to study a year and part of the next year but the commitment is that we’ll do what we can for sure they will have job opportunities.”   Pierre Jallon’s employer found him a position leading a research lab He stayed there for four years before joining a startup named eLichens that developed an innovative gas sensor his job was adding technology and everything related to strategic management and marketing “What I learned during the MBA is what is a good innovation “Everything I’ve learned in the MBA is very useful to understand how to position a startup how to do all kinds of studies that lead to a decision of choosing a development or not.” In October 2024 he founded his own company, PAIRFS which develops and markets VO2Max and ventilatory threshold measurement systems for sports it has been a very important step in my career to be able to understand innovation from a business perspective I used to know it from a scientific perspective but I’ve got the business perspective,” he says “And I think in the Grenoble ecosystem — and more generally in the French ecosystem where you have a lot of traction on startup — it’s very useful And it’s always useful to have these kinds of friends at this level with whom you can have some conversation about the difficulties you are facing in your job and they can give you some interesting points of view and interesting discussions That leverage includes work on a new project for which Grenoble is helping its 2014 alumnus and the school is helping me with this project as a live business case during the Innovation Master’s,” Jallon says “And this is also something very useful for me and to be in touch with this ecosystem.” Learn more about the Grenoble MBA program here.

Because his summation of Saturday night’s Moncler Grenoble show neatly captured the essence of an experience that was pretty mind blowing, for multiple reasons. The show was thrown on the runway of Courchevel Altiport, the cliffside alpine airport that Pierce Brosnan took off from on a motorbike in the opening scene of Goldeneye. The Italian-owned, French-born down jacket specialist brand had imported around 200 guests—who Brody apart included Vincent Cassel, Anne Hathaway, Yamashita Tomohisa, Jessica Chastain, Ashley Park, Penn Badgley, and Shaun White—to the hub of the 600 km network of ski runs that makes up Les 3 Vallées. Over the last 20 years, Moncler has inserted itself into the fashion sphere (through the Gamme Rouge, Bleu, and later Genius projects) and more recently has begun operating beyond it, collaborating with protagonists running from Donald Glover to Jony Ive. Since last year, Remo Ruffini, Moncler’s chairman and CEO, has also been taking the brand founded by French mountain climber Lionel Terray back to its alpinist roots.  Way down at the bottom of the airstrip was a rig that sent rippling beams that resembled the Northern Lights floating in the snowy static of the sky above us. A detachment of snowcars motored at speed towards us—very Goldeneye—before a retinue of 140 models climbed twin staircases at each side of the runway, walking it from opposite sides.  The snow kept coming, heavier and heavier. Through the harsh spotlights it looked ever more beautiful, even as we became more bedraggled. And despite the hilarity of the situation (you try typing under a poncho in a snow event), this scenario perfectly complemented the collection.  Alongside these were ski looks in tweed, houndstooth, and beautiful heritage checks cut in technically treated wool, plus a floral intarsia knit. Around these drifted a wide range of looks fashioned in technical fabrics (fancy nylons and Gore-Tex) to best afford models equipped to ski, snowboard, and mountain climb: you don’t often see ice picks and crampons on the runway.  At the end Simon and Garfunkel sang “The Sound of Silence” while the sound system groaned with feedback as the snowfall compromised its wireless reception. Fashion shows are fanciful things designed to stimulate material desire through the creation of carefully crafted fictional context, and there was plenty of spectacular stage-management here tonight. But watching these show clothes left you spellbound because they were snow bound, and so in their element.  Vivienne Westwood Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear Maison Rabih Kayrouz Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear Notifications can be managed in browser preferences. ‘Criminal act of unprecedented violence’ launched at time when many UK holidaymakers are in French Alpine city I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent. Read our Privacy notice Two people fighting for their lives are among the at least 12 who were injured after a grenade was thrown into a packed bar by a man brandishing a Kalashnikov rifle in Grenoble In a “criminal act of unprecedented violence”, all the windows of Aksehir were blown out following the explosion on Wednesday evening, with emergency services swarming the area into the early hours at a time when many UK holidaymakers are in the French Alpine city. Two of the victims were in a critical condition, one with chest injuries, after the incident at around 8pm in the Claude Kogan square in the Olympic Village district, while at least a dozen were wounded in total. Francois Touret de Coucy, the deputy prosecutor of Grenoble, said at the scene: “Someone came in and threw a grenade, apparently without saying a word, and ran away." He said the bar is in a socially deprived area frequented by numerous drug gangs, and a man was seen brandishing a Kalashnikov rifle that was not fired. No motive had yet been ruled out, he said, although terrorism was not being prioritised by investigators. French newspaper Le Monde reported Mr Touret de Coucy said the incident "may be linked to a settling of scores”. The bar – which is named after a town in the Konya Province of Turkey – was surrounded by police and firefighters by the early hours of Thursday morning, when no arrests had yet been made. The area had been cordoned off and nearby streets were being sealed off, with locals advised to stay indoors. All the injured were taken to the Grenoble Alpes University Hospital. None of them have been named by authorities. Eric Piolle, the mayor of Grenoble, condemned “with the greatest firmness a criminal act of unprecedented violence” and thanked emergency services. It came at a time when thousands of British tourists are in the Grenoble area, on skiing and snowboarding holidays. Grenoble's Olympic Village was built for the 1968 Winter Games. Kalashnikovs are often used by gangs in France, especially in drugs-related crime. In November, interior minister Bruno Retailleau said they were being used in numerous towns and cities around France, describing the country as “at a tipping point”. The drugs trade in France has long centred on major cities such as Marseille, where at least 17 drug-related killings were reported last year. But the problem is increasingly moving out to other places, including to areas normally associated with tourism. Kalashnikovs were also used during a horrifying series of bomb, gun and knife attacks carried out by Islamic State and al-Qaeda operatives from 2015.

It's been a fantastic three days of skating, with only Sunday's exhibition gala left. We hope you've enjoyed our routine-by-routine live blog coverage of the senior Grand Prix Final from the Patinoire Polesud. All that's left is for us to sign off with a good night, bonne soirée from Grenoble. That was what Ilia Malinin attempted en route to gold at the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final 2024, his second consecutive title after also taking gold in Beijing last year. While all of them fell foul of the judges, receiving quarter under-rotation or full under-rotation calls, Malinin's stated aim had been to entertain the audience, which he certainly did by pulling out his quadruple Axel. The U.S. self-proclaimed "quad god" is the only skater in the world to be able to perform the jump, and sent the crowd into loud cheers with both the quad Axel and a backflip in his routine. While the judges only gave him a score of 186.69 points for a total of 292.12, it was enough for Malinin to hold off Olympic silver medallist Kagiyama Yuma. "I had this idea and this goal I wanted to achieve here; I hope everyone enjoyed that performance," Malinin said to the crowd afterwards. ISU GP Final 2024: Ilia Malinin defends title with seven quad attempts Kagiyama, meanwhile, may have been left rueing two big mistakes of his own. Given Malinin's under-par skate, it would not be an exaggeration to suggest the Japanese could have potentially pulled off a comeback victory. But Kagiyama popped his quadruple Salchow to a double, and also doubled an intended triple loop. His free skate score of 188.29 was the best of the six men, but only led to a total of 281.78 points, some 10-and-a-half points behind Malinin. "I lost against myself. I was so nervous and felt like my stomach was tight," he told reporters in Japanese afterwards. "I didn’t make such a mistake with Salchow in practice, so I was shocked. Apart from that, I would say it was better than the performance in Finland [at Finlandia Trophy]. I need to skate with a strong mindset, not make mistakes, and aim for over 290 points constantly. "You cannot perform better than the practice. At competitions, you will face particular feelings of nervousness. I should prepare 120% in practice so that I am able to give 100% at competitons." Kagiyama's counterpart Sato Shun claimed bronze on 270.82 points, rebounding from a fall on his quadruple flip to produce a routine that lifted him from fourth after the short program into the podium spots. Picture by REUTERS/Denis BalibouseIlia Malinin poses with his gold medal at the 2024 Grand Prix Final Here comes the short program leader and favourite Ilia Malinin, the self-proclaimed "quad god" who is listed for four quads but not the quad Axel, only scheduled to perform a triple. He starts with a quad flip, and pulls out the quadruple Axel! But he then falls on the quad Lutz, then spins out of the quad loop. Malinin nearly falls on another quad Lutz but manages to turn it into his half loop Euler and triple Salchow combination. And he turns his planned triple Salchow-triple Axel sequence into a quad-triple attempt. Malinin lands a full backflip too – that element was unbanned for use in competition by the ISU this season. What a performance, and a standing ovation from Grenoble as he lies prone on his back on the ice. Well, well. Lots of quarter and under-rotation calls. Quarter calls for his opening quad flip, the quad Axel, quad toe and quad Salchow; full under-rotations on his quad Lutz which he fell on, the quad loop, and second quad Lutz. It's a score of 186.69 for a total of 292.12 – seven quads attempted, but all of them got marked for quarter or full under-rotations. Ultimately, it was about thrilling the crowd, which he certainly did. "A lot was going on in my mind, I had this idea and this goal I wanted to achieve here," Malinin says. "I wanted to get on the ice and I hope everyone enjoyed that performance. From now on, my main goal is to clean up everything. "Merci beaucoup, Grenoble," he adds. Picture by REUTERS/Denis BalibouseIlia Malinin competes in the men's free skate - Grand Prix Final 2024 Up next is Olympic silver medallist Kagiyama Yuma, the penultimate competitor tonight, who is also listed for four quads. And he lands a stunning quad flip to start his free skate – but then pops an attempted quad Salchow down to a double, to loud gasps from the crowd. A fantastic recovery with a quad toe-triple toe, followed by a triple Axel-Euler-triple Salchow. The second half of this program is going well until his triple flip-triple loop combination as he puts his free foot down on the landing to the loop, which he doubles. Kagiyama really needed a completely clean skate to have a chance at overtaking Ilia Malinin. And while he receives great applause from the crowd, that probably isn't enough barring a complete meltdown from his American opponent. Malinin claps Kagiyama as the two cross paths on the ice, the latter skating off while Malinin heads out to warm up. Here come the scores. It's 188.29 for a total of 281.78. Mikhail Shaidorov is next, and will skate to both Moonlight Sonata and Take On Me – two very different pieces of music. He also has the unique triple Axel-Euler-quad Salchow combination planned. The Kazakh falls on his opening quad Lutz, but recovers with his signature combination! A quad flip, then a triple loop. The program takes an ethereal turn as Shaidorov lands the quad toe-triple toe combination to start the second half of his routine. As the music transitions into the familiar strains of a-ha's Take On Me, the crowd starts rhythmically clapping along. A tremendous roar goes up as the debutant completes the routine. Someone's thrown a giant teddy onto the ice at the far end of the rink. Shaidorov earns a disappointing 162.49 points for a total of 253.75 putting him third, drawing jeers and catcalls from the crowd. Under-rotation calls on the quad Lutz, quad flip, and second triple Axel. Sato Shun of Japan is listed for four quadruple jumps in his free skate, and starts well with a quad Lutz. Well off-balance going into his second jump, however, and Sato falls on the quad flip. Can he recover quickly? Quad toe-triple toe, yes he can as he launches into a spin. His fourth quad is due next. It's the quad toe again and well landed. The rest of his program goes well and he picks up 184.54 points for a total of 270.82, giving the crowd a wave as his score is announced. He's in the lead. Italy's Daniel Grassl next with his Billy Elliot-themed free skate. He is wearing a white ballet-style top with black trousers. Launches into his quad Lutz to open, one of three quads he is listed for. Then the quad Salchow, and Grassl does well not to crash into the boards. The quad loop is his last quad and he lands that too. Both his triple Axels are due to come in combinations. The first is nicely done with a triple toe on the end. A bit of a janky music change there as it moves from jumps into a choreo sequence. A triple Axel-double Axel-double Axel sequence is followed by a triple flip-triple toe, and his final jump is a triple Lutz. The Italian looks out of breath, staying down on the ice a few extra seconds before lifting himself to thank the crowd. There is quite a long review going on with Grassl's skate with the judges. It's a 173.20 for a total of 254.96 – under-rotation calls on his first two quads. It is deafening in the Patinoire Polesud as Kévin Aymoz is introduced for his free skate. After his difficult short program yesterday, can the Grenoblois turn it around on home ice? Huge roars around as he lands the opening combination, a quad toe-double toe. Off-balance into his second element, another quad toe, and he has to turn out with his free foot to avoid a fall. And again on the triple Lutz, his free foot comes down but he stays upright. Recovers with a triple Axel-double Axel sequence. For this home crowd, Aymoz can do no wrong. He is their local boy. Unfortunately, he has to land a triple toe-Euler-triple Salchow two-footed too. And the triple flip to close out the jumps, which looks a little suspect. Shouts of "Allez!" still fill the rink as Aymoz launches into his change foot combination spin to finish the program. He puts both hands on the ice as the crowd give him a massive ovation. And he pumps them up and applauds them before bowing to all four sides of the arena. Soft toys are peppering the ice now as Aymoz skates off, blowing kisses to his home crowd. Another tough night for the Frenchman, but a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to skate in a Grand Prix Final in front of his own people has been realised. No tears in the kiss and cry for Aymoz today, only a big smile as he continues to blow kisses to the camera. He gets a 169.91 for a total of 238.63, both well off his best but that doesn't matter. An under-rotation call on the triple Salchow and an edge call on the flip. and tastemakers descended upon the charming mountain town of St This crush of A-listers had not arrived in the snowy Swiss Alps for a ski trip They’d been whisked to the European destination for another reason entirely: the Moncler Grenoble fall-winter 2024 runway show presented in a moonlit forest and Anne Hathaway took in the expertly crafted pieces that blend high performance with high fashion the line-up redefined the term “skiwear.” Model Vittoria Ceretti opened the show with a snowboarder’s waterproof pants and jacket—punctuated by a fuzzy cream vest Amelia Gray modeled a knit cardigan with red and black patterns and an enormous floor-skimming scarf; Emily Ratajkowski was cozy-chic personified in a woven wool jacket and matching boots Mariacarla Boscono and Mona Tougaard took to the snowy runway in next-level head-to-toe shaggy looks and the groundbreaking collection is now in stores and available to shop online The designs—including the aforementioned alpaca coats chunky knit sweaters featuring folk-art motifs and the most technical of ski jackets—were created to prioritize warmth without sacrificingstyle—whether you’re hitting the slopes or having the frigid streets of New York For this iteration of the Grenoble collection Moncler tapped photographer Mario Sorrenti to shoot the lookbook the brand teamed with snowboarding legend Shaun White on a Moncler Grenoble x WHITESPACE snowboard (which would pair beautifully with those fuzzy mountain boots) the iceman may cometh—but Moncler Grenoble has you covered By Tricia Oliveira the Courchevel Altiport—Europe’s highest airport—transformed into a breathtaking runway for Moncler Grenoble’s Fall/Winter 2025 show the brand celebrated its mountaineering roots with a collection that seamlessly fused high performance and high style encapsulating the essence of altitude as both an attitude and a lifestyle The weekend-long event was a tribute to mountain life blending adventure and elegance in the picturesque Trois Vallées From adrenaline-fueled skiing to serene après-ski moments Moncler Grenoble’s commitment to elevating mountain living was palpable The show itself was an immersive experience seated around a U-shaped runway illuminated by ethereal white light A live symphonic orchestra heightened the atmosphere blending classical and modern compositions to create a sensory crescendo redefined winterwear by marrying technical innovation with sartorial artistry Shedding the constraints of traditional winter palettes and silhouettes Moncler Grenoble introduced unexpected materials like denim and micro patchworks elevated ski suits and outerwear into luxurious statement pieces while shearling added tactile richness to coats The palette was a harmonious blend of neutral tones—white and grey—accented by pops of light blue This refined color story mirrored the snowy landscape allowing the collection to stand out while blending seamlessly with its surroundings Moncler Grenoble’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection is a testament to the brand’s mastery of performance luxury proving that style and functionality can coexist at the highest altitudes It’s a vision of mountain life that’s as formidable on the slopes as it is in the city redefining what it means to dress for the peaks Watches & Jewelry Fashion & Style Moncler Grenoble is trekking a solid path in sport, constantly heading outdoors without looking back.
