	Talk:The Temptations of Jean-Claude Killy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Therefore, I don't think it makes sense to merge it with Jean-Claude Killy, since its writing wasn't a major part of his life, but rather to keep it as it is, since the article is a significant part of Thompson's early work and a salient example of early gonzo journalism.
		The Thompson article The Temptations of Jean-Claude Killy is only partly about Killy, as this wikipedia entry details, and very much about American advertising, sports, and Thompson's own personality and unique journalistic style.
		The concern is that the Hunter S. Thompson article on Killy is not influential enough to merit a whole wikipedia article.

	Contemporary Review: Jean-Claude Killy: France's king of the ski slopes
		Killy attended the republican lay school staffed by a tough, but fair instituteur, who gave kids two afternoons a week to ski, and pushed Killy to jump farther and farther when he began competing in other parts of the region.
		Killy almost has the puritanical zeal of an old Swiss watchmaker; however, the residence he intermittently occupies in Geneva is located in un-Calvinist environs where rich French notables like Charles Aznavour also roost.
		When Killy took his military turn in a dying French Algeria of 1962, he did that stint with similar self-mastery, navigating through the heartbreak and blistering heat, and returning to France with hepatitis, but with unshaken will.

		Finally, however, out of all of this agony and frustration, down roared Jean-Claude Killy to capture the biggest, most dangerous event of them all, the men's downhill, to add another gold medal in giant slalom and to transplant himself forever into the throbbing heart of France.
		Although it was beginning to look like the overall spectacle might have to be renamed Xèmes Jeux Olimpiques de Killy, it was impossible for Jean-Claude or any of the medal winners to display lavish joy because of the clack about commercialism.
		For the Olympic record books, however, let it be noted that Killy won his two gold medals on French-made Dynamic skis, and in Nevada bindings and Le Trappeur boots; that Périllat used Dynastar skis, Nevada Bindings and Heschung boots; and that Daetwyler was on Rossignol skis, in Nevada bindings and Lange boots.
