"Here's where Jean-Claude Killy went off the edge in a practice run in 1964; and right there so-and-so got killed in a 1966 World Cup event; and that's called the Soldier Section because they found a dead soldier there in 1945." As if that wasn't enough, when an Italian named Stricker crashed on the course, ABC reran the film with comments like "What a tremendous crash, Wow!" Two runs later, an Austrian, Grissman, wiped...
