...slalomist, Ingrid Lafforge, has been sidelined for the season with a broken leg. Led by Michele Jacot, 19, the women's team has no fewer than 14 crack skiers who are capable of winning on any given day, including a 15-year-old sensation, Jocelyne Périllat, who is being heralded by the French press as the "super champion of tomorrow." The French team is so steeped in talent that nine women and seven men have shared the team's 20 victories. Groans one Austrian skier: "They're ants, those French. You crush one and they...
...ease. Killy stood patiently at the starting gate, the picture of confidence as he awaited his turn and checked the speeds of competitors. He was No. 14, and by the time he pushed off, the run was rutted and choppy; the leader was his own teammate, Guy Périllat, who had started first and zipped down the 1.8-mile course in 1 min. 59.93 sec.

He will have to stave off the challenge of such superb skiers as Austria's nimble Gerhard Nenning and France's bull-necked Guy Périllat-who swept every major Alpine title in 1961. Ferries will have to lick an old jinx: in 28 years of trying, no U.S. male skier has ever brought home an F.I.S. or Olympic Alpine championship. He may also have to beat the F.I.S.-which at week's end was threatening...
...fort night ago, he ranked eighth in the slalom after a mediocre 77.2-sec. first pass at the course. On his second run, Ferries clocked a sizzling 69.7 sec.-fastest time of the day-to eke out a .7-sec. victory over France's Périllat. Last week at Cortina, he picked up 1.4 sec. on his second pass, beat France's Charles Bozon by .4 sec. Said Ferries: "At the very least, you have to be confident...
Under Bonnet's coaching, Périllat took the Werigen, Kitzbühel and Megeve com petitions, three of Europe's biggest, with apparent ease, each time winning both the downhill race and the combined-events championship. His wins have made him a French national hero - a fact that Guy Périllat accepts calmly. Says he: "There's a time in life for everything. If my time for success is now. it's now. Everything else will take its place...
