VHS Archive Find | Calgary Olympics '88 | Michaela Gerg, West Germany | Skiing Crash

Welcome to 430 Metres where we sometimes stumble upon gold, unlike Michaela Gerg (too soon? It's been almost 40 years...). Anyway, this VHS was found in the dumpster, specifically in Switzerland. We would call it the "déchetterie". But whatever you call it, someone chucked this out. Our detective skills make us think it was taped directly from the broadcaster RTS, the main French language broadcaster in Switzerland. This is based on the location of the find, nuances with the language used, and the fact the commentator goes mad for every Swiss skier. This clip shows Michael Gerg of West Germany's ski crash in the first run of the Giant Slalom. Have a look around, enjoy the archive, and if you can identify a mystery recording or remember exactly when something aired, leave it in a comment. Collective television memory is a wonderful thing.
