...only American alpinist given much chance to win a medal. But the favorite in Cindy's best event, the downhill, will probably be Austrian Brigitte Totschnig. Such racers as her teammate Monika Kaserer, Switzerland's duo of Lise-Marie Morerod and Marie-Therese Nadig, and Rosi Mittermaier of West Germany will ensure that most of the medals stay in Europe...
