About this audio guide
This guide to Mt. Teine in Sapporo returns to February nineteen seventy-two, when the mountain hosted the technical skiing events of Asia's first Winter Olympics after its modest vertical drop ruled it out for downhill racing. It follows Italy's Gustav Thoni and Spain's Francisco Fernandez Ochoa to their giant slalom and slalom golds, and sets up the closest finish of the week between two women racing the same slope you're standing on. Look toward Ishikari Bay, where nearly two million people now share a mountain built for a two-week sprint.
