Money is only one of Jean-Claude's concerns. He wants to race a car some day at Le Mans; he also would like to break the world speed record (109.14 m.p.h.) on skis. But first, after those long, monastic months of training, he has some catching up to do. With what? "Fun," he says simply, "and les petites jeunes filles...
...over -with victories in both the two-man and four-man events. The U.S., too, had someone to cheer in Michigan's Terry McDermott, ten pounds heavier and four years older (at 27) than he was when he astonished everyone by winning the men's 500-meter speed-skating race at Innsbruck in 1964.

They have been traveling for a cool millennium or so, but their craft has been zooming along at close to the speed of light, and so-in accordance with Einstein's Time-Dilation Theory-they have scarcely aged, save for some grey in their beards.
