Governor Kathy Hochul today highlighted the New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority 2025 winter events schedule featuring World Cup events in three different sports and the International Bobsled & Skeleton Federation (IBSF) World Championships set for March 2025 showcasing the Olympic legacy that continues in Lake Placid. The announcement follows the recent news that Lake Placid has entered targeted dialogue as the Plan B backup for sliding events for the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic Winter Games.
“For decades, New York State’s commitment to winter sports has kept the Olympic flame burning bright in Lake Placid,” Governor Hochul said. “This is a testament to the investment in the legacy that we continue to provide Lake Placid.”
The 1980 Winter Olympics took place Feb. 13-24, 1980, and was the second time Lake Placid hosted the Games. The U.S. men’s hockey team’s improbable win over the Russians, known as “Miracle on Ice,” and speed skater Eric Heiden’s five gold medals made the 1980 Games one of the most memorable.
