The Swiss-Romansh TV station RTR broadcasted yesterday a documentary film about the first filmic documents from Grisons canton ("Glisch, camera and acziun – emprims documents filmics dal Grischun"). While researching also a contemporary film about the 2nd Winter Olympics in St. Moritz from 1928, the library of St. Moritz showed to the film team the official flag of the games (Before the 6th Games in Oslo in 1952, the Olympic flags weren't handed over to the following organizers). It was recently donated from the St. Moritz Tourism Organization.
