...CHRISTINE and MARIELLE GOITSCHEL, sisters from Val d'Isére, France, poled and skated their way through the ladies' slalom, finished first and second. In third place: Oregon's Jean Saubert, the pre-race favorite. Afterward, stocky Marielle Goitschel, 18, demonstrated that she can handle herself as well off the course as on. Angry at an Austrian policeman who was pushing French Coach Henri Bonnet around, Marielle uncorked a haymaker square on the point...
...Half-Mast. Handicapped all winter by a lack of snow in Europe (most pre-Olympic downhill races had to be canceled), the athletes protested bitterly. The casualty lists mounted alarmingly as they struggled to sharpen their skills. Most of the favorites escaped unscathed. Oregon's Jean Saubert, fully recovered from a touch of the flu, flashed the form that already has won four races this winter. But each day brought new reports of bruises, cuts, twisted muscles and broken bones. And there was worse: trying to negotiate a tricky turn on the ice-coated luge (sled) run, Britain...
...Oregon's Jean Saubert, 21: the special slalom at the women's Silver Jug ski races, in Bad Gastein, Austria. Only U.S. female skier to win a race in Europe this winter (she has now won four), Jean beat France's Marielle Goitschel by about 1 sec., and established herself as a heavy favorite to win either or both slalom events at the Olympics in Innsbruck next week...
Mistaken Impression. Daughter of a U.S. forest ranger, Jean Saubert, 21, learned to ski from her father, who took her to Sun Valley, Idaho, for two weeks' vacation once a year. The family settled in Cascadia, Ore., just 40 miles from Hoodoo Ski Bowl, and by the time she was 14, Jean was good enough to win the slalom at the National Junior Championship in Reno. But it is a long way from the junior championships to the Olympics, and nobody paid much attention when she finished sixth in the giant slalom...
...turned out to be the best woman slalomer in the world. In the "Criterium of the First Snow" at Val d'Isère, France, last month, Jean Saubert (rhymes with "Aw, Bert!") won the giant slalom and swept the women's combined Alpine championship. At Oberstaufen, Germany, two weeks ago, she split two slalom races, winning one and placing third in the second. Last week at Grindelwald, Switzerland, all of Europe's top skiers were on hand for the winter's biggest pre-Olympic competition. When lack of snow forced cancellation of the downhill race...
