The Men's Downhill Races from Garmisch.
As a result of the early-season weather problems this lively Bavarian resort plays host to the fourth and fifth events in the ten-race men's calendar. No one will be more delighted than Switzerland's Pirmin Zurbriggen who has made an unsteady start in downhill this time but who won in 1987, the last time the race was held here.

September 1982: Pauline and Ray Williams were woken with the news that their 19-year-old son John had been found dead. They discovered he had been experimenting with drugs but the inquest verdict was clear: John had been
'unlawfully killed'. Yet no prosecutions followed.
Pauline could not accept this decision and spent the next three years taking on the British legal establishment.
The outcome of her campaign has now earned her a place in legal history. This powerful drama traces the years of solitary struggle from Pauline's viewpoint.
