Nathan Lane has to be the best person to interview. So easy to bounce off of in every interview I’ve ever seen 😂

What courage. If you skied back then and still ski today, you know just how far skiing in general has come with shape and sidecut skis, and also just how far ski racing has come in terms of conditioning and grooming the course. Franz Klammer was using long straight skinny boards, and skiing at or just over the very limit of control.

they’re watchable if you have cable and a program, so you can avoid the human story features and stick to the action.

I remember watching Wide World Of Sports in the 70’s. “The thrill of Victory, the agony of defeat.” Every time ai would see the intro, I would get so excited. This is 40 years before you could stream sports from anywhere.

Back before they painted the lines on the course, though he had decent visibility in the sun I think. I think downhill is still the greatest event in all of skiing or boarding. Franz looks like a poor intermediate skier just trying to get down an expert run without falling, except his AVERAGE speed in this video is 63.9 mph.

...and so a new adjective, "Klammer-run", was born -- legendary. It was incredible to watch. We were all leaning left and right in our chairs like we making the run with him!!!
@martinmucha4858 8 күн бұрын
The run is incredible: the highest stakes humanly possible - a nation of skiers demanding victory - one mistake results in never ending pain. No soccer player, no f1 driver ever delivered something like this. And imagine: his opponent is a mountain

I was 22 and a huge Olympics fan, and this stands in my mind is the greatest downhill run ever. Klammer was inches from disaster the entire way and just kept pushing it. The man was a beast.

This is when downhall was the sport of men. When you could die doing it. Maybe its the tech. Maybe its the cameras, but you just don't see runs like that anymore.

I watched it live and if my memory is correct, the next day they replayed this downhill run to the Dan Fogelberg song, "There's a Place in the World for a Gambler". Nice song to pair with the skiing.

Considered one of the best commentary call of sports of all time. In fact, Frank won an Emmy award for this call the following year in 77. So youre wayyy off base in your comments im afraid
@markymark8451 11 күн бұрын
@ was Frank the one who kept saying what I wrote above? When a commentator repeatedly says the same sentence over and over again, just to fill up airtime space because he doesn’t know what else to say does not make him a good commentator in any way. And as far as the Emmy award goes, how many times have we seen stupid Hollywood so-called artist receive awards for nothing when they didn’t deserve them so that does not put any credence into your argument. Why else would the Oscar awards, and the pullets surprises and the noble peace awards amount of shit nowadays.

Strikes me that with the high cost of the unit in its factory condition; with the number of aspects of it you were disatisfied with, you'd have beenbetter off just building a pre-amp to suit your specifications from scratch. The tonal bias of the original was set according to the international standard bias for not making the output from the cartridge sound like crap. of course that may not be to universal taste., however the integrated amp you feed this preamp into surely has its own tone controles; are they not adequate?
@DarrenGlen 11 күн бұрын
you intimate in your comment that i have somehow made this preamp sound "like crap" by doing mods. Nice try.
@stevenofford495 11 күн бұрын
@@DarrenGlen no. just that youve altered it so much frim a standard it wasdesigend to that your objectives ( not crap), would have been cheaper achievd and with about the same amount of work, by building one from scratch to your own requirements. I mean you clerly have that competence and the parts would cost a lit less than this cost to buy new,
