Grenoble Games End Amid Controversy And Heroic Feats
The Grenoble Winter Olympics closed amid injury woes, weather chaos, and protests over IOC decisions. France’s Jean Claude Killy achieved a rare triple with golds in downhill, giant slalom, and slalom, while Eugenio Monti claimed two bobsled victories and Toini Gustafsson led the women's cross country. The United States finished with one gold, five silvers, and one bronze as Peggy Fleming and others excelled in figure skating and speed skating despite a generally disappointing showing for U.S. skiers and a dismal hockey result.
