“One night over dinner in Grenoble, surrounded by the ski team, Redford pointed across the room.  ‘The racer he was interested in was at another table,’ wrote James Slater (screenwriter) ‘I looked.  Golden, unimpressible, a bit like Redford himself—which of course should have marked him from the first—sat a little-known team member named Spider Sabich.  What there was of his reputation seemed to be based on his having broken his leg six or seven times. ‘Him?’ I said.  ‘Sabich?’ Yes, said Redford; when he was that age he had been just like him—vain, rough edged, with a bit of arrogance, and a daredevil.”
