Russel could gain very many top places - in my theory to award all racers analogous regulations as to now he had been the winner of the overall. He had gained 1,217 points (Karl Schranz 1,002; Gustavo Thöni 920; and Jean-Noël Augert 545).
Reality: Before the last races of the season, held in Voss (a giant slalom and a "special slalom"), Schranz was ahead with 148 points to Russel (145) and Thöni (140). Considering the scoring system of that time, Thöni was sidelined, because he could only gain 5 points. Also Russel could only gain 5 points if he would win the giant slalom race. Option for Schranz was better: He could gain 10 points or 5 points, according as he could achieve the first or second place in the giant slalom race. In the slalom discipline, Schranz didn't gain a podium in all races of the season (best result was a 5th place); he could gain 21 points (a very theoretical assumption because he was not an excellente slalom racer).
But all was over after the first race: Werner Bleiner did win. Because Schranz became third, Russel 4th, no one could gain points. Though Russel did win the slalom on March 15th, he couldn't gain a point. Schranz had no need to compete, but he did - but he didn't start the second leg because he feeled a pain.

In reality, Russel would have been enough to have won one of the giant slaloms in which he finished second to win the Cup (with 5 points more he would have made 150 and that is 2 more than Schranz). --Kasper2006 (talk) 05:13, 28 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
