Either I've got something wildly wrong or there's a serious error in this xword. 6d: "1988 Winter Olympic men's figure skating gold medal winner." My research tells me that was Brian Boltano. However ... 21a asks for the "first published book by Colin Wilson." The answer to that is The Outsider (1956). The problem is that the "L" in Boltano does not cross with the "i" in Outsider.


Anyone have any thoughts?

Thank you RIR. I'll go with that. However ... my Daily Telegraph A to Z of Sport gives it as Boltano and so does Google. But ... Google gives it as Boitano, too. Perhaps someone shd contact the guy and ask how he prefers to spell his name. There does seem to be a conflict here.
Agree about the conflict. I got the spelling from Britannica.
My 1992 complete book of the olympics gives Brian Boitano .
I too was led up the garden path by the Telegraph A to Z of sport. Mind you we shouldn't be surprised considering the Telegraphs history of crossword gaffs!
