Sweden’s Ingemar Stenmark was considered the best technical skier in the world in 1976. He had won the World Cup in 1975 in both slalom and giant slalom, and would win each of those titles thru 1981. His biggest challenger was expected to be the 1972 gold medalist, Gustavo Thoeni, who was overall World Cup champion in 1975 and would win again in 1975-76. And Thoeni took the lead on the first run, with Stenmark struggling in eighth place. Following Thoeni on the first run were longshots Ernst Good and Heini Hemmi, both of Switzerland. Stenmark skied brilliantly on the second run, winning it easily, but this would move him up only to the bronze medal. It was now Thoeni’s turn to struggle and his eighth place finish on run two dropped him back to fourth overall. Hemmi and Good again finished 2-3 on the second run, this time Hemmi besting Good by enough time to secure the gold medal, with Good taking silver. In the 1976-77 World Cup season, Hemmi would win four races, and tied Stenmark for the season title in GS.
