Both franz and mayer had superb 2nd split times but on the section where everyone gains time on jansrud one misses a gate the other one loses 5 tenths (as a comparison, he lost 9 tenths on theaux and he didn't even make a big mistake, he just skied bad). There are two Austrians who could have won this but instead we don't even have a podium (which reichelt missed by two hundreds btw) Reichelt missed it by 0,14 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

De_Gambassi 896 Posted March 12, 2018 #705 Share Posted March 12, 2018 If anyone wondered, Brice Roger is the higest bib to reach the podium since Hannes Trinkl who won a Super G race in 1993 with bib 51 hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Bib 64 I believe. Also Marc Berthod had Bib 60 or something when he won slalom in Adelboden (2007). ChandlerMne 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon 1,690 Posted March 13, 2018 #708 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I think I remember reading about a downhill in the mid 1980s where the TV company broadcasting the race switched off their cameras after bib 40 (or about that) went down and missed one of the low ranked Austrians win the race. Maybe Morzine in 1986? ChandlerMne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,780 Posted March 13, 2018 #709 Share Posted March 13, 2018 the Val Gardena Downhill has a long history of winners started with very high numbers... Markus Foser in 1993 won with #66 (ahead of Werner Franz, AUT with #52), Max Rauffer (GER) in 2004 won with #46... and they're not the only ones...

Gigs 68 Posted March 13, 2018 #710 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Tina Maze won her first downhill in st moritz I think in 2008 with bib 47. 3rd place was lara gut who also had a bib around 40 who got her first world cup podium back then and even would have won if she hadn't crashed on the finshing streight falling over the finish line ChandlerMne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
