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......

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.
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!
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
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
You can hit a rut at anytime and this can happen to anyone. Has almost happened to me several times. At those speeds it is much harder to recover. I did but was at 1/3 his speed.
