OT: Congrats to Lindsey Vonn winning Bronze in her final race

[Chickenman Testa]

The olympics may be the biggest stage, that's especially true in he US, but in skiing, winning world cups is what makes you an international star. Win multiple world cups and you are in very rarified air and worshipped forever.

For men's downhill the Streif on Mt. Hahnenkamm is probably bigger than the olympics, at least outside the US. If you can find it there is a great documentary on the race called "Streif - One Hell of a Ride". Here is a link to the trailer: https://www.redbull.com/int-en/tv/video/AP-1Q93UJWN11W11/streif

I saw it a couple years ago. It is one of the best sports documentaries I have ever seen. Great even if you are not into skiing. I think you can find a version for free somewhere. Well worth a look even if you have to pay the $2.99.

I like the Mausefalle section.

Win the race and get your name on a cable car. Pretty cool

That is a great documentary! But for my money, no downhill surpasses Klammer’s gold medal run on Patscherkofel at 76 Olympics! I repeat that run in every green I ski (mostly the being out of control part).

Glov is a clown. I remember having arguments with him back in the thread view days.

It's the best I got the past two days sir.

I got the Flu.

Aches
chills
fever
sweats
coughing and sneezing so much stomach and chest muscles hurt.

I thought we declared "peace" and mutual respect between us Ezcheez?

Let's start anew and post without animosity sir.

All is good between us.

I mean that and a sincere: "Welcome back!" sir.
