1964 Winter Olympic Games Innsbruck Austria
Canada's four-man bobsled team thunders to an upset as they beat the favored Austrian quartet by a fraction over one second.
In the Men's Slalom, it's the United States turn to upset the ski-pole. William Winston "Billy" Kidd of Vermont takes second place and his teammate, Jimmie (Jimmy) Heuga of California, takes third. Josef Stiegler of Austria wins a Gold Medal for his team. It's the first win for the United States in Men's Alpine Skiing.
There's another upset in the Men's Figure Skating as Manfred Schnelldorfer of Germany pirouettes his way to the crown. He upsets Alain Calmat of France who had three spills and placed second. Scott Ethan Allen of New Jersey, just 14 years old, wins a third-place Bronze Medal for the United States while winning the hearts of the crowd as well.
