What is your favorite Olympic moment of all time? Let us know below and it might be featured in the next #ThrowbackThursday!
There's so many, but the US Freestyle trifecta in Nagano was amazing. Johnny Moseley gold in moguls; Nikki Stone & Eric Bergoust golds in aerials.
I remember those days.
I used to love watching this event
When they used to fall, and HURTLE down the mountain, the friction and speed would cause the suit fabric to virtually MELT into their skin, and they would get up screaming in pain. Yikes!
Ouch
Too many TikTok will MELT your brain son
Yes, you will get burn blisters when falling at speeds above 150 km/h.
I used to Speed-Ski in Sweden in my youth and had some falls so there have been some blisters, but no melted suites ;-)
Suppose I wasn't fast enough with my top crash speed at 174 km/h through the timing gate. Personal speed record 198 km/h.
But that hurt a lot from burn blisters on legs, arms, bottom and back.
That looks so terrifying but also cool
Yep…where the medals don’t matter because you finished ALIVE.
I feel like alpine skiing, what we have today, is much more terrifying. You don't get the same top speed but the course is much longer, more turns and there are parts where you cant see over the edge of the mtn and you have to trust yourself and your edges so much.
Surprised they're so aerodynamic with such massive balls.
If you bring this back with nicer suits and helmets, you could totally make it work - You could even change the competition format a bit, maybe have a qualifying round, then the top8 go to quarterfinals, semifinals, bronze medal match and gold medal match. If that's too much racing, then just go for qualifying+top8 final.
The problem is that there are so few suitable slopes that are long and straight enough.
I suppose that's the main reason it didn't got established as a permanent Olympic sport.
A bit sad since the whatching value is quite high.
I imagine this is like NASCAR where people just come out to see the crashes.
Imagine showing up at the bunny slope with that suit and helmet and do the snow plow.
229... My car goes just over 200 on a nice day. Insane :D
km/hr not m/hr
@@garrethirving9432 - Bro, quite a lot of cars can't reach 140mph. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy has a car that can't go over 125mph.
@@garrethirving9432 yes, km/h.
Second place Phillip Goitschel is the nephew of Olympic champions skiing sisters Christine and Marielle Goitschel.
This is weird but I keep laughing at their shiny butts.
"well, it's designed for maximum mobility. it feels like wearing nothing at all."
@@paulblichmann2791 must be cold
How was this on olympics? Deaths arent uncommon here
Had no idea this even existed 😶☝️
What is the angle of the slope for them to pick up so much speed.??
45%
Please post the 1992 Albertville Women's Mogul Finals. This was a historic event since it was the first time moguls was a medal event. Several years ago, you posted the men's finals. Please post the women's.
It was too boring.
This looks so unsafe 🤣
This was the only year they had the sport because two people died
@@NathanPoeRealtor It was only one and he died on a public slope by a collision. There was only one year because it was a demonstration sport.
Much safer than Downhill
Wr was set a few years ago at 265kph
Because it is unsafe. At that speed. The helmet is wearing him
the event "Downhill" is already nutso enough, we're lucky it hasn't been fully supplanted by Super G in modern times.
I don't care much for jumps or rails or anything, I just like long trails where I can just go as fast as I can.
It's amazing.
I loved this sport so much After the nineties, it disappeared from the big competitions. It's not fair!
The camera in those days and the skiers both were way ahead of time
Because they were so fast
The only Olympic event worth watching.
Bring this back.
Bless this generation.
Bless this generation that fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.
What happened to it?
People got hurt and they stopped
Men started getting vaginas
It was a demo sport in Albertville Olympics to see if people would watch it. We did. But then a racer smashed into a truck or something going like 200mph and died instantly. That was the end of that.
@@dzl6848 it's called going woke
@@maribelcosta5284 instant broken bones or death
bring it back!
Такие смешные у них шлемы))
Do they messure average og maximum speed?
I think max
I think they measure the average speed through a particular 100m segment of the hill -- first part is speeding up, then measuring, then slowing down again.
Why this sport was abandoned from Winter Games?
Too dangerous
There was a death at the Albertville Olympics when a skier was practicing and hit a snowcat on a public slope.
They're going over 200 kph (125 mph).
@@sneauxone He was freeskiing. Totally unrrlated to speedskiing itself.
@@Quintendejong123 No, it's not that dangerous. Very few serious accidents in Speed-skiing compared to most other action sports.
The competitions is very well organised and the de-acceleration area is generous to prevent accidents when falling.
Consequenses of falls is normally burn blisters and brused skin.
Hurts quite a bit, but is gone in a week.
@@Quintendejong123 Wrong...
It's not very dangerous, but it takes a lot of guts to do it and is a bit of show-off sport.
Downhill skiing is not for everyone eighter, and there are more serious accidents in downhill skiing, or in ski-cross which both are olympic sports.
Brittany’s oops I did it again outfit inspo
I always wanted to compete. I'm so fast ski patrol says something everytime I go skiing. They can't catch me.
Hear me out... move the slope higher into the mountain, combine it with the Ski Jump, and add a base jumping element.
This video is so interesting and excellent💘❤ that we have no any more words to say . I hope there is no any vedio as like to this vedio. ❤❤🤙🧡💕1
Why do they use poles though?
Thosehelmet look like the evas serie
Tim Magill my dear friend is my inspiration Steve Nason Go fast be free
Are they just counting the top speed or time to bottom?
Looks like top speed.
They are counting the speed.
when i was watching this as a kid it looked terriffyng i mean they are dressed scary and it’s super unsafe.
Much safer than downhill
Amogus
Not super exciting to watch, beyond the holy-moly-this-is-insane aspect.
Nice
What if you spread your legs too much
