Johann’s class and Eric’s unstoppable

Bunce's Tales of the Extraordinary

Available for over a year

Writer Steve Bunce attempts three letters in this episode: from one man’s generosity to another’s total domination. Buncey tells the tale of Johann Olav Koss, who showed that he’s not just a hero on the ice, but off it too. We also hear the unusual story of Eric Heiden, one of the greatest and most reluctant Winter Olympians of all time. Ice is our I, but how did luck play its part in 2002?
