...snow nor Avery Brundage could stay France's Jean-Claude Killy, 24, from the swift completion of his appointed round. Favored to win all three Olympic Alpine races-downhill, giant slalom, special slalom-Killy was under tremendous pressure. "He's too tense," insisted Austria's Toni Sailer, himself a triple gold-medal winner in 1956. "He can't win." But on the day of the downhill, the pressure seemed to ease.

At 18, he won all three Alpine events at the Austrian junior championships, and experts began calling him "the new Toni Sailer." But then he dislocated a shoulder on the eve of the 1960 Olympics...
...cubic meters were dumped on the ski courses; another 20,000 cubic meters were set aside for "emergency withdrawals." Six huge snowmaking machines, imported from the U.S., worked night and day, spraying ice crystals on the bobsled and sled runs. Finally, last week, Austria's own Toni Sailer, who won all three Alpine skiing events at the 1956 Olympics, took a trial run down the men's down hill, pronounced it "fantastic-like out of a test tube"-and all of Innsbruck heaved a mighty sigh of relief...
