Johann’s class and Eric’s unstoppable

Duration: 20 minutes

First broadcast:

Available for over a year

Writer Steve Bunce attempts three letters in this episode: from one man’s generosity to another’s total domination.

Buncey tells the tale of Johann Olav Koss, who showed that he’s not just a hero on the ice, but off it too.

We also hear the unusual story of Eric Heiden, one of the greatest and most reluctant Winter Olympians of all time.
