Spain's Francisco Fernandez Ochoa wins an unexpected gold medal in the slalom event of the men's alpine skiing at the Sapporo 1972 Olympic Games.



Prior to the Sapporo 1972 Olympic Games, Francisco Fernandez Ochoa's best result in international competitions had been sixth place. Yet, this time, he would achieve an incredible feat.

The favourites for the slalom race came from the nations one would usually expect, such as Gustav and Rolando Thöni from Italy.

This time, however, it was up to "Paquito" Fernandez Ochoa to put Spain in a surprising first place. His incredible result gave Spain their first Olympic gold medal since the Amsterdam 1928 Games and made him a local hero for years to come.
