At the 1972 Sapporo Olympics in Japan, fourteen-year old Kathy Kreiner (born 1957) was the youngest competitor at the Games. Four years later, she won the gold medal in the giant slalom in Innsbruck. The photo shows her celebrating the victory, carried on the shoulders of Jim Hunter, a member of the fearless Canadian men’s team, known in the 1970s and 1980s as the “Crazy Canucks.”
