Default Picture of 80's skiing hero

I am looking for (hires) pictures of nordic skiing heroes in the 80's.
And preferably pictures from downhill races.
Can somebody help me with some links?

Lars -

There are quite a few good images of XC skiers (and downhill, and
others) on the International Olympic Committee website. Start with the
Thomas Wassberg page and browse around:

Wow, what great photos: Jernberg, Hakulinen, Ulvang, and Svan. I was
perusing an old John Caldwell book recently ("Caldwell on Competitive
Cross-Country Skiing"), and there are wonderful photos of some of the
pioneers of American Nordic skiing - Mike Gallagher, Bob Gray, Mike Elliot,
Bill Koch, the Caldwells, Jim Galanes, etc. Very interesting stuff, I
think, and I'd love to somehow indulge in more of this Nordic nostalgia.
There isn't much out there, though, in English.
