    As well as winning four gold medals at two editions of the Olympic Winter Games, Swedish cross-country skier Thomas Wassberg left the Games and his sport with a long-lasting legacy. After winning the 15km race at Lake Placid by the narrowest margin imaginable, the rules on timing in the competition were changed.
    The Swede’s punchy style, where he shunned the classic diagonal method and opted for the skating style, pushing powerfully with both poles on both leg kicks – an extremely efficient, not to say physically demanding way to move over the snow – is known to this day in skiing circles as the “Wassberg” technique.
    A fast skating style – push for every leg – is still called "Wassberg" after him in several countries. Wassberg's skiing idols when growing up were Sixten Jernberg and Oddvar Brå. He has described his mental strength and physical fitness as his greatest abilities as a skier, with his main weakness being a lack of sprinting ability.
    Wassberg subsequently suggested to Mieto that the gold medal should be split between them "as one one-hundredth of a second is nothing in a 15-kilometer race". This incident led the International Ski Federation (FIS) to change their timing to the nearest one-tenth of a second.
