...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. "I knew Périllat's time," Jean-Claude said afterward. "I figured I had the race in hand." He did. His body tucked low to cut down wind resistance, he was a blur in blue as he slashed through the turns and flashed down the long schuss...
...year-old Franco Nones became the first person other than a Scandinavian or Russian ever to win an Olympic cross-country ski race. A wiry customs agent from Castello di Fiemme in the Dolomites, the tireless Nones sped 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) in 1 hr. 35 min. 39.2 sec., to beat Norway's Odd Martinsen by the margin of 49.7 sec.-roughly the equivalent of three city blocks. Some experts credited Nones' victory to the wax he used on his skis -a special green wax designed particularly for the kind of crusty, frozen snow that covered the course...

Three times in the second half U.C.L.A. fought back to tie-at 54-54, 65-65 and 69-69. Hayes broke that last tie with two free throws; then, with 12 sec. left to play, he dropped into the backcourt, dribbled the clock away to sew it up. Said Alcindor: "We lost to a better team." And right now, anyway, a better...
...that the warmups are just that. Wait. And so last week in the second half of the giant slalom at Adelboden, Switzerland, Killy roared out of the start and flashed down the 1,800-meter course, carving and skating through the 60 gates to finish in 1 min. 34.1 sec., a good 1.5 sec. ahead of his closest pursuer and enough to give him his first major win of the year. KILLY'S REVENGE headlined the papers. "I went all out," admitted Jean-Claude. "I wanted to show that I was better than ever...
