Ski stars opt out
The two Austrian ski-ing. stars, Klaus Heidegger and Leonard Stock, will not now be coming to New Zealand for the U.T.A-Europa Oil' series which begins at Mount Hutt tomorrow. Mr Neil Harrison, con- j vener of the organising committee, was given this news! only on Sunday and he said it was a “big dis!
appointment.” The Austrian team is now believed to be flying direct to Melbourne for the FT.S. series in Australia. However, two other big draw cards — Willy Frommelt (Liechtenstein) and Erik Haker (Norway) — arrived at Pudding HIH, near Methven, on Sunday morning and will be competing.
