the all-round ski champion

downhill skiers have a reputation as being wild and reckless. pirmin zurbriggen, who grew up in switzerland's valois alps, was the opposite of this stereotype: a deeply religious homebody. but if he was mild-manned in his daily life, zurbriggen transformed into an aggressive competitor when he attacked the slopes. zurbriggen made his olympic début in 1984, when he finished fourth in the downhill, missing a medal by only one tenth of a second. he also participated in the slalom, but did not finish. at the 1988 calgary olympics, zurbriggen competed in all five alpine events. he began with an explosive downhill run that earned him a half second victory over world champion peter müller. in the alpine combined event, zurbriggen recorded the fastest time of the downhill run and led by more than two seconds after the first slalom run. he seemed well on his way to a second gold medal when he hooked a tip on the 39th of 57 gates on the second slalom run and ended up on his back. between the two runs of the giant slalom, zurbriggen was riding on the chairlift when he witnessed a horrible accident in which a member of austria's medical team was killed by a snow-grooming machine. a shaken zurbriggen went ahead with his second run and earned the bronze medal.

  从瑞士阿尔卑斯山区长大的皮尔明-楚尔布里根是个性格丰富的运动员,在生活中,他是个比较矜持的人,但是在运动场上他对胜利充满了渴望。 1984年楚尔布里根在南斯拉夫萨拉热窝第一次参加冬季奥运会,在高山速降比赛中,他名列第四,以十分之一秒之差与奖牌无缘。在这届奥运会上,他还参加了 回转比赛,但并没有完成比赛。1988年,楚尔布里根参加了加拿大卡尔加里冬季奥运会高山滑雪全部五个项目的比赛,他先在高山速降中以半秒的优势夺冠。随 后他参加了高山结合项目的比赛,他在高山速降中名列第一,在回转比赛第一轮后也以两秒多的优势领先,眼看第二枚奥运金牌离他不远了,但在回转比赛第二轮比 赛中,他在第39旗门时,被钩倒了,失去夺取个人第二枚奥运金牌的机会,他随后在大回转项目中为自己再夺得一枚奥运铜牌。
