Editing Jean-Claude Killy (section)

==Early life==
Killy was born in [[Saint-Cloud]], a suburb of Paris, during the [[German military administration in occupied France during World War II|German occupation]] of World War II, but was brought up in [[Val-d'Isère]] in the Alps, where his family had relocated in 1945 following the war. His father, Robert, was a former [[Supermarine Spitfire|Spitfire]] pilot for the [[Free French]], and opened a ski shop in the [[Savoie]] village, and would later operate a hotel. In 1950, his mother Madeline abandoned the family for another man, leaving Robert to raise Jean-Claude, age 7, his older sister (France), and their infant brother (Mic). Jean-Claude was sent to boarding school in Chambéry, {{convert|80|mi|km|-1}} down the valley, but he despised being shut up in a classroom.<ref name=si1990>{{cite magazine |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1069368/index.htm |magazine=Sports Illustrated |title=Killy: A Man and his Kingdom |last=Johnson |first=William Oscar |date=12 February 1990 |pages=206–218 |access-date=8 February 2012 |archive-date=12 November 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121112134916/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1069368/index.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>
