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.
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!!
Klammer won it over multiple years with a massive variation in technology, Cuche won on the same kit over a short period of time. Klammer was the master skier to me.
Watching the older races, you can see the Streif has been somewhat neutered. It's still the toughest course but it's not nearly as wild and crazy and, yes dangerous, as it was in the 80's.
With skis getting so much faster over the years they had to make the course safer. I’ve read that the Streif even today doesn’t meet minimum FIS standards but it’s grandfathered in because of its history, tradition and popularity.
All modern dh courses look groomed like F1 tracks. Not to take away from the accomplishments of the modern skiers, and the speeds are greater, but the old guard, like Pirmin and Klammer, they are Hard Men!
I understand this is by wins, but Klammer is absolutely the GOAT of downhill. His Innsbruck win was one of the single greatest runs of all time. Period.
Only a couple of cuche’s wins were on the full course. A couple were on shortened courses due to weather and I believe one of them was a short, two run sprint race. All four of Franz Klammer’s victories were full course so he’s #1

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).
@@speedkingz yes, indeed, he has to prove himself on the long term. But that second downhill run will in any case remain one of the greatests in the history!
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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
@@jamescrydeman540 I know. But it comes even worse: Toni Sailer doesn´t appear in another list of speedkings about "the ten best skiers of all times". At least in that list he shares the disrespect with Gustavo Thoeni and Marc Girardelli. Ridiculous!

Switzerland rules! 🇨🇭
no Austrian Rules 😂,Cuche only won 2 times on the entire streif Franz Klammer is the King
Egal welche Nation , alles Legenden 🎉❤🎉@@micatrsic8762
French rules !
pirmin zurbriggen-
most talented skier of all time!!!
Wasn’t he the guy that witnessed someone get chopped up in a snow machine during the Olympics one year?
4 schweizer in den top 6 - chapeau!

Great video, thanks
Welcome

Porbably yes, but this is by wins
Imagine what Franz could do on todays skis
All legends of the snow
All legends in a great sport .
Franz klammer the goat of downhill skiing
Era una volta ma solo in discesa libera: ora il Campione, il migliore di tutti è Marco Odermatt!
Franz is the man
Franz Klammer is still the greatest downhiller of all time!!!
No.
What about 2 other 3 times winners: Karl Schranz, Luc Alphand ?
Less podiums, so left out
Skill and huge balls.😀

La Streiff ressemble un peu dans un autre domaine au TT Trophy sur l'île de Mann

"neutered" is quite the word in this context... Adapted to faster skis would probably be the right expression. It's the f..g Streif!
Great ski racers.....!!!!
I understand this is by wins, but Klammer is absolutely the GOAT of downhill. His Innsbruck win was one of the single greatest runs of all time. Period.
Agree with that run
Great Didier Cuche. (but he won only 2 times on the entire streif)
Hmm, still king
No denying Cuche as one of the greats, but Klammer remains the true King of The Streif.
@@leestamm3187can you count? Cuche won the Streif 5 times, that is one more than Klammer
@@branolibranoli Klammer is the only skier to have 4 wins on the entire, full length of The Streif.

Гигант - самая суперская дисциплина в горных лыжах 👍👍👍💪💪💪
Oui...
Bravo les Suisse...
Mais Klammer est le plus impressionnant pour moi...
Franz Klammer had the best name of any sportsman ever.
Had some errors inthe editing. Tried fixing it. Please let it slip ://
These guys and WRC drivers - biggest balls in all of sports.
Totally agree. Got to have insane guts to go down mountains this way
Super compilation totally ruined by stupid intrusive music!

@@kurtrudinger8053 He is one of the three I mentioned. The list is a crock without those three.
Interesting. I'm not an expert by a long shot (or even really a fan) but I always thought super g seemed a bit redundant.
