4 schweizer in den top 6 - chapeau!

Growing up, the Wengen and Kitzbühel races were like christmas morning. Shame Cuche never won it in Wengen but in Kitzbühel he was unbeatable so many times.

[@megattack2424]

Switzerland rules! 🇨🇭

[@micatrsic8762]

no Austrian Rules 😂,Cuche only won 2 times on the entire streif Franz Klammer is the King

Great video, thanks

Welcome

[@robertloeffler1868]

Great ski racers.....!!!!

[@SkyTrend]

Mentally, physically the toughest DH on the tour. Kitz is the F1/of ski racing. Looking out the start-hut is like no other! most quiet place at the start area of all races. Into the mix in a split second. Bormio/Garmisch are a beast also. Dark, Fast and rock hard ice. Great job with the Video Speed King! nailed it!!

[@speedkingz]

Thanks mate! Glad you liked it

These guys and WRC drivers - biggest balls in all of sports.

[@speedkingz]

Totally agree. Got to have insane guts to go down mountains this way

[@bastiengab1861]

Great Didier Cuche. (but he won only 2 times on the entire streif)

[@speedkingz]

Hmm, still king

[@leestamm3187]

No denying Cuche as one of the greats, but Klammer remains the true King of The Streif.

[@francoisfoue]

What about 2 other 3 times winners: Karl Schranz, Luc Alphand ?

[@speedkingz]

Less podiums, so left out

Yes, but less podiums hence left out

I think the fact that the site is Kitzbuhel makes no difference to the comments below.

[@FermiFred]

Unfortunately winning from the top in Wengen and Kitz is important. Nothing the skiers can do about it, but important none the less. I believe Klammer has won the most from the top (4).

Holly crap, most people do not go this fast in their car.. These downhill ski racers are like astronauts or rail duel dragster drivers !!! It takes steel balls to be successful in this sport...The difference between victory and second place can be as thin as a length of fishing line !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Incredible, crazy people

[@jamescrydeman540]

Any such list that doesn’t include the three triple gold medal winners from a single olympics is a crock, just like super g is a crock, a marketing exercise to sell more advertising. there are only three events needed to determine the comprehensively best skier. Downhill, Slalom and Giant Slalom.

[@speedkingz]

But this is Kitzbühel
