In honor of the XXII Winter Olympic Games in Sochi in 7 weeks, our 13 favorite WINTER Olympic Memories. 1. I will never forget Franz Klammer (Austria) in his go-for-broke performance on the Men’s Downhill Ski event at the 1976 Olympics at Innsbruck. 2. Dan Jansen finally triumphs: after failing in 1988 (Calgary) and 1992 (Albertville) as a favorite, he gets gold and sets a WR in 500 m speed skating in 1994 (Lillehammer). 3. 1985’s Battle of the Carmens, with Katerina Witt winning the gold over Debi Thomas. 4. 1980, The Miracle on Ice: “Do you believe in miracles? YES!!!” 5. The Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan incident 1994 6. Jean-Claude Killy in 1968, sweeps all three Men’s Alpine Skiing events in the Olympics held in his home country of France (Grenoble) what a stud! 7. Eddie the Eagle fails badly but charms all 8. The Jamaican bobsled team 9. Bill Koch wins the silver medal in the 30 Km Cross Country event at Innsbruck (1976) Still the only American medalist in a Nordic racing event. ---
