		Switzerland's Bernhard Russi, the defending Olympic downhill champion and the third skier of the day, skied flawlessly, grabbing the early lead with a time of 1:46.06.

	Franz Klammer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Given the opportunity to take up skiing he became adept very quickly, making his debut in the World Cup skiing competition in 1972 at the age of 19.
		At the 1976 Winter Olympics Klammer won the gold medal in the downhill by 0.33 seconds from defending champion Bernhard Russi, who had gone out before him and set a challenging target.
		The fact that Klammer was the last of the 15 competitors to go out, meant that his win on the treacherous course was even more remarkable.
