When anybody mentions skiing nowadays franz klammer is always talked about

Description says "staying completely in control" which is incorrect. It should read "unbelievably, barely staying on top of his skis." Alas, recent Olympics have given us far too few moments like this one, the US hockey gold in 1980, etc. Kristen Faulkner winning the women's road race in Paris was similar but not in a discipline that gets nearly the attention it should.

He made skiing popular on tv in England i think.

Ohne Zäune wäre er jetzt nicht mehr am Leben!!!

The Best ever Der Kaiser

Dr Steadman microfractured my knee in 2005. it still works.

shame the video doesn't live up to its title.

That run in 1976 was the most thrilling thing I have ever saw in sports history. I was 26 years old in 1976. The Closest thing to that rivals it, is the Last 5 minutes of the Miracle on Ice hockey game in 1980 Olympics with the Soviet Union despitely trying to score against the College Hockey players on team USA......

The man RS saved many soccer player in UK unfortunately Paul Lake Manchester City player was misdiagnosed in England. He had poor surgeons Eventually went to a USA doc It was too late LOved to see that documentary Thin Line Looking for it now

I remember like it was yesterday

I can absolutely not blame him for wanting back on the skis ASAP, despite his many injuries. I'm an avid recreational skier. I have the app ski-tracks on my phone. It tracks your speed (max-speed, average speed etc). My record so far is 90 km/h; these guys go 140 km/h or more. The rush you get when flying down the slopes is an absolute thrill. The dopamine and adrenalin rush is better than you ever can imagine. It's like a drug, like an addiction.

Carres affûtées obligatoire ! Merci les préparateurs...

my oh my ... i saw him win on TV and it was so exciting .... and watching this today is still exciting to see !

If you can afford it….

Local is lucky

Damn. Pre jump crash @ 95. Skies looked like rubber bands. Hell of a run.

Ian Wooldridge, the great English sports journalist, said this was the greatest sport's performance he ever saw.

I was 18 in 1976 and also watched this live. At that point I’d never skied, but still realized what a spectacular achievement this was. I’d differ a bit with the concluding narrative of this video however: he was nowhere near in “complete control”. He was right on the edge of control most of the way down. Fabulous!

You can tell he is the perfect type of person to downhill! He did have a great run going. Shame.

I was 16yrs old back in 76 and remember watching this live on TV and I thought then as I do now that it was the greatest downhill run I’d ever seen. Thank you for the memories Franz Klammer the GOAT.

Franz is a man Trump not so much he’s a weak ineffectual fool bent on exploiting the weak minded people

Great short docu. Love this race. Best of the season for the men!

I had the pleasure of skiing with Franz at Mount Hutt in July and August 1983 on the South Island of New Zealand. We were both there for the FIS competition. He's truly a great athlete.

I love my Mikaela Shiffrin. She's my fearless queen. I love Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn both USA slalom skiers

Can we please have the winter Olympics back in a traditional skiing country again?

Konig Franz is my myth!

Love to listen to his explanation ... 'this is the winning run' ... 👍🏾

Pero no entiendo,... Estos atletas de Ski,,,NO TIENEN CUERPO DE ATLETA ( COMO LOS DE CARRERS DE 100 METROS )....UNA CAIDA A 100KILOMETROS X HORAS ...Y SE SACAN LA MIERDA...Y EL CUERPO TU LOS VWZ TODOS AGUAITOS... es vez de estar rigidos llenos de musculos. . .ahlra no me vengan que los musculos pesan.. Lo ue si es verdad, que hay que practicar mucho para skiar a esas velicidades y ser un carita bonita ni papi y mami millonario.. porque todos son asi... Los cuerpos son como el del rey de inglaterra,...flacidos, aguados y frajiles.... No son cuerpos de atleta...pero todos tienen cara de modelos y milkoonarios..como el golf

GOAT.

I watched live, Klammer win the gold in '76. He inspired me to become a skier. My first time up I tucked and bombed it! Thanks for the memories.

It is amazing and inspiring that both Wengen and Kitzbuhel still challenge the best skiers in the world after so many decades. The mountains will always demand and deserve respect.

As they say about dough, she has risen -- to the top!

Красавица

Let it all hang out! TUCK AND ROLL, NO FEAR. MAMA HERE I COME., legs don't fail me now! LOL SWANK AN SWOOSH BABY!

They talk about his controlled race line, believe me, there was no control just a wild way to survive the conditions at that speed. Legend and Genius

Ever since I've been into downhill, this is my favorite course. A lot of my ski friends have heard of " The Strief" but when I bring up " Lauberhorn" or " Wengen", I get blank stares.

Good luck to this guy, take care of yourself

5:05 fcukin badass

Best race ever... And Phil nailed it he is a super good guy... Just like the twins 😁😎👍🏻👍🏻

😱

I am 11 years old and I was skiing but I could t slow down fast enoguh and I slammed into a brick wall. Here are the symptoms: Short term. 1: bloody nose 2: hurting back 3: shock 4: pain, lots of pain Effects right now. 1: bump on head 2: cut on nose 3: sore knees

"The Energy of downhill is Kitzbuhel ~ the Essence of Downhill, is Wengen" ⛷️♥️⛷️

interesting story, but this guy is such a db, and exaggerator.. makes for a fun story

E magica 💪💪💪💪

He did my right knee acl back in 81. Still serving me perfectly.

okay, that looks tough.
