Leonhard Stock of Austria, the 1980 Olympic downhill skiing champion, scored a victory in a World Cup parallel slalom race at West Berlin.
The event was held in a rain storm on 396-foot Teufel Mountain, which was formed from a huge heap of rubble from World War II bombing raids. The slope lies in the Grunewald forest section of West Berlin.
World Cup standings in parallel slalom involve national teams, not individual skiers. Stock’s victory left Austria with a circuit-leading 41 points, followed by West Germany with 36 and Yugoslavia with 32.
Stock edged Yugoslavia’s Bojan Krizaj in the final of the round robin-type competition that started with 32 skiers in 16 matchups.
Competitors’ times are not released.
