TRANSCRIPT: AMUNDSON: "Forty skiers who are trying for positions on the United States' ski jumping team will be in Madison through October twentieth, training on this country's only plastic jumping facility. The coaches say there is very little difference between the plastic surface and snow. Several European countries have plastic hills, for off-season training and the people responsible for getting the United States' team together, say year-round competition has become necessary. A skier's performance here helps about twenty-five per cent towards his selection for the Olympic team. After Madison, the Olympic hopefuls will go the Canadian Rockies for two weeks of training, then it's on to Thunder Bay, Ontario, for a training period in December. Following two meets in the United States in january, the team will be selected. The Winter Olympics will be held in February at Innsbruck, Austria. This is Charles Amundson reporting."
