Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Water Ski Winners. DESCRIPTION: Our pictures show ski-jumping for the Austrian championships, with hair-raising jumps over the hump. A rather more gentle sport is the graceful art of kite-skiing. Like so many things that look easy, there’s more skill in it than meets the eye. Finally, an eye-catching slalom performed with flourish and precision by Stefan Rauchenwald. Several times Austrian champion, he won the other ski events as well, to retain his title.
