Well, it's the biggest event of the downhill series next week end in Austria!
I landed in the middle of it when I first went skiing in Austria in '98.
What a surprise that was!
Anyone follow/like skiing?
This is the one where half of the competitors give it a miss to avoid the risk of injury, as it is a skiier maimer for sure!
I saw Tomba miss a gate and lose that year! (Actually, I didn't see him miss it, as he dissappeared behind the crowd for a few meters, and when he came out the other side, he was on the wrong side of the course) had me wondering for a minute until I realized what happened! :lol: :lol:
Man, talk about a merciless crowd, the jeering and booing brings to mind the atmosphere in the arena, possibly!
No mercy would have come from that bunch!
