Short Story

We were excited about the performance of the current Thuringian champion Karl Böhm-Hennes and the appearance of the Austrian participants from the Giant Mountains as well as that of the US mountaineer and ski pioneer Oliver Perry-Smith , who lived in Saxony and the father of the later Olympic participant Crosby Perry- Smith . The winner received the Golden Ski of the German Ski Association , the second and third place honors and diplomas. The winner of the international ski jumping event also received the King 's Prize from the King of Saxony .
