To say nothing for the representatives of the I.O.C. and the Albertville organizing committee.

''A good day, a very useful day,'' said Michel Barnier, a co-president of the organizing committee. ''We had hoped for around $200 million.'' 10 Percent to U.S.O.C.

Besides the organizers and the I.O.C., the chief beneficiary was the United States Olympic Committee, which, according to the I.O.C.'s television rights distribution formula, will receive 10 percent off the top, or $24.3 million.

Of the remaining $218.7 million, the organizing committee will get $116.64 million for its general fund and $43.74 million for facilities, which are spread throughout the Savoie region of central France; the I.O.C. will receive $58.32 million.

The award procedure was much simpler than it was in 1981, when ABC succeeded after five rounds of bidding. This time, a minimum figure of $200 million was placed in a sealed envelope, after which the two participating networks submitted their offers. The networks were told that the Games would be awarded to the higher bidder, provided the offer at least equaled the secret number.

''We figured $200 million was a sensible minimum to expect,'' said Richard Pound, a vice president of the I.O.C. and chairman of its television negotiation committee. ''We recognized that Calgary was an aberrational bid at the time and that this time, there would not be as much live, prime-time coverage.'' By comparison, ABC paid $91.5 million for the 1984 Winter Games in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. CBS last televised the Winter Olympics in 1960. Puzzlement Over ABC
