Abstract
Organization of any winter Olympic game, often called as «White Olympics», requires interfacing between sports, technology and glaciology. History of the Olympic winter games and the Norwegian figure skater Sonia Henie, first and the only three-time Olympic champion (1928, 1932, 1936) in ladies figure skating, is presented in the article. Leaving the amateurish sport, Henie became a Hollywood star of the ballet on ice. She was introduced to the inventor Frank Zamboni, who created the ice re-surfacer (the ice-cleaning combine) to restore the ice on skating rinks. Using the combine by Henie during her tours in the United States served to advertise this machine, and the name Zamboni had become a trademark for machines «Zamboni».

Summary
Organization of any winter Olympic game, often called as «White Olympics», requires interfacing between sports, technology and glaciology. History of the Olympic winter games and the Norwegian figure skater Sonia Henie, first and the only three-time Olympic champion (1928, 1932, 1936) in ladies figure skating, is presented in the article. Using the combine by Henie during her tours in the United States served to advertise this machine, and the name Zamboni had become a trademark for machines «Zamboni». Ключевые слова: Зимние Олимпийские игры, золотая медаль, ледовый комбайн, патент, товарный знак. Хени стала звездой голливудского балета на льду. Её познакомили с изобретателем Фрэнком Замбони, создавшим ресурфейсер (ледовый комбайн) для восстановления льда на катках. Использование Хени комбайна при её гастрольных поездках по США послужило рекламой изобретению. Фамилия Замбони стала торговой маркой машин «Zamboni»
