1980

The Games were back in Whitehorse, Yukon, where the organization for the 1980 Games set the standard for future events incorporating both sport and cultural participants. Three contingents with 900 participants participated in 15 sports, badminton, basketball, cross country skiing, curling, figure skating, hockey, indoor soccer, Inuit Games, judo, shooting, snowshoe biathlon, snowshoeing, table tennis, volleyball, wrestling. Pin Trading is quickly becoming a ‘featured additional sport’ at the Arctic Winter Games.
