Jean-Claude Killy of France triumphed in the slalom, but only after the disqualification of Austria’s Karl Schranz. Following Schranz’s complaint that a person crossed his path during the slalom race, he was given a restart and consequently he ranked first. However, a Jury of Appeal accepted the Frenchman’s protest and disqualified the Austrian.
There occurred an unusual disqualification in women’s luge. The three East German athletes, who had finished first, second and fourth
were disqualified for heating their runners.
