Tale of two champions

There are champions and champions. In the world of skiing, two of them inspire me more that all combined. Both have won downhill races on the terrifying Streif, in Kitzbühel, Austria, and to do that requires lots of courage, a perfect technique and athletic prowess. But these two aren't only fantastic athletes, they're also top human being and know when to take time off their busy schedule, get out of their way, travel long distances, stop and pay visit to a good friend of theirs that always immensely appreciate their visit. That man who's also a friend of mind has been recovering and working an arduous rehab in a hospital for the past nine month. These exceptional human beings Jean-Claude Killy and Didier Cuche; thanks to both of them for stopping by and cheering our common friend François up!
