DESTINY DAYS OF AUSTRIA EPISODE 1

OLYMPICS SCANDAL ABOUT KARL SCHRANZ

The jubilation on 8 February 1972 knows no bounds. 100,000 people shout "Karli, Karli" on Ballhausplatz in Vienna. Karl Schranz's return home after his exclusion from the Olympic Games in Sapporo is vividly remembered by many people.


In the documentary, we relive the day, leaf through the daily newspapers and, with humorous interviews with contemporary witnesses, explore the mood of Austrian society and how that day affected the country.
