There are some similarities, though. Seven-footer Pat Ewing, this season a junior, still gives orders in the lane. Another hotshot (Karl Hobbs) deals passes like marked cards from the backcourt...

He has the same gift for doing the impossible in an unhurried, almost languid, offhandedly elegant manner. Declares Austria's Coach Karl Kahr: "He has that special feeling.

With 8 km to go, Koch found himself back in 23rd position and, rather than finish exhausted, dropped out and skied off through the forest. He hoped to save energy for the 15-km event...

Says the man in charge of preparing the alpine courses: "We knew in November that we could make all the snow we needed, make better snow and better courses...
