Thursday, February 21, was Klaus Sulzenbacher Day in Kitzbühel. Klaus, brother of our old friend Peter from the Kogler bar, had just come home from the world championships in Val di Fiemme a Weltmeister and Vizeweltmeister in the Nordic Combined: a world champion and a vice-world champion. He had won the silver medal in the individual event, and a gold with the Austrian team. In the Olympic Games in Calgary in 1988, Klaus won a silver for himself and a bronze with the team; over the last three years he had also won two World Cup titles. Klaus was the real thing, a ski champion of Austria, the Tyrol, and Kitzbühel, and the townsfolk of his native village were coming out tonight to honor him.
