Bill Johnson's path to Olympic gold was different than that of most.In fact,even though he was the first American man to ever win the downhill skiing event,many rejected him as a true Olympic hero.He was a rebellious kid who came from a troubled background,and he boasted too much.Moreover,he only became involved in skiing because a judge sent him to a ski school after he had stolen a car at age 17.There was no lifelong commitment to the sport.He did not exemplify the Olympic spirit.He did not gain distinction by continuously training for his event.Still,few failed to appreciate his marvelous race in the 1984 Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo.He was just a natural skier and his technique was perfect for the course.And so even before the race began,he was claiming victory."This course was made for me.Nothing can stop me," he had boasted.He also caused some comments when he talked about the millions of dollars he would be able to make after he won the race.This made many skiers hostile toward him.That just encouraged him even more.Then on the day of the event,he turned out the fastest."It takes a lot of courage to throw yourself down a mountain," Bill Johnson remarked proudly after he won a gold medal for the United States."Not many can do that."
