Question 9

What Austrian skier was controversially disqualified from the slalom? During his second run he claimed that a "man in black" had impeded his path. He was given another chance to ski that run, and put up a faster time than the Frenchman from question #4, but officials decided that he shouldn't have been given another chance because he had missed a gate just prior to the "man in black" incident.
