Jean-Claude Killy Wins All Three Alpine Skiing Events - Grenoble 1968 Winter Olympics 

Yes, a great guy and Champion! I met him and Nancy Green at a ski show in 1970 (Toronto).

Apparently he's friends with Putin

... he did make an amazing Pro 'comeback' at age 29. Champ again.

Lange never made leather boots. Killy was wearing custom Le Trappeurs, made in the same village as his Dynamic VR17 skis. Canadian skier Nancy Greene was the first Lange convert, starting in 1966,; she won a gold and a silver in them at Grenoble. Killy went to work for Lange (as well as Head) after the 1968 season, and was equipped with Lange Comp IIs and Head Killy 800 skis in the 1972 film "Snow Job." But it's quite clear that none of the boots available in '68 were especially helpful for the technique that Killy pioneered. Truly functional high back boots started coming around in 1971.

@@monkmchorning Thanks! I found a 1966 Le Trappeur poster ad on eBay... features a cutaway view of their FIS boot. Very cool. Met Jean Claude and Nancy at a 1970 ski show in Toronto. Spider Sabich did a carpet-ramp demo session too. Also, I still have my 1972 Lange Comp II high back boots! JCK's extreme glacier skiing in Snowjob was amazing, glad it's on film and DVD.

Seems he had everything. Lucky man, yes. Retired too young perhaps? Stopped skiing at age 45.

C'est normal, il est parisien !

@@davidzof ok...mais ce serait quand même symbolique une avenue à Grenoble 😉

Êtes-vous, par hazard, descendant de Jean Michel, Patrick?

Every year, the reviews in Skiing said this was the ski for going fast on ice. Back then, all the best ice skis were wet-wrap construction, but Dynamic and Volkl were the only ones doing it around a laminated wood core.

Je me souviens qu'il y a eu un truc pas clair en spécial.
