It only takes one person to make a big change. US cross-country skier Bill Koch had been a loner most of his life and was never afraid to go his own ways. Having won the silver medal at the 1976 Innsbruck Olympics, his career struggled following the Olympic success. To reinvent his career he decided yet again to go his own ways, and he ended up forever changing the sport of cross-country skiing in the process.
