Just watched this good tv-movie.

The true story of the first U.S. men's skiing gold medal winner.
Bill Johnson is a arrogant young adult who dreams of being on the U.S. Olympic Ski Team as a downhill racer.
Trouble with the law and a rebellious attitude almost cost him the 1984 Gold Medal that he won.
(IMDb)

The cast is great:

Anthony Edwards, Dennis Weaver, Sarah Jessica Parker, Wayne Northrop and Deborah Van Valkenburgh.

Anthony Edwards was good and young Sarah Jessica Parker was always very energetic.

J.A.C. Redford has composed a nice score, sport films usually have good soundtracks.

Bill Johnson must have been a funny dude
but sadly some terrible things has happened to him later in personal life.
