"Loose is fast and on the edge of out of control" IP: 108.212.84.252 Posted on February 5, 2023 at 01:29:57 PM by Harry Hogge
On this day, February 5th, 1976...
Let me set the scene. Innsbruck Austria, '76 Winter Olympic Games, Men's Downhill Final. Bernhard Russi of Switzerland (the defending Men's Downhill Gold Medalist) has just taken the lead, posting the fastest speed ever on Austria's Mt. Patscherkofel. Russi's time resonates throughout the course where 60,000 Austrians look on in shock. This is devastating! Our mountain!!
One skier remains, Franz Klammer of Austria. It will have to be the run of his life. Go Big or Go Home.
Spend 1:46 seconds to watch this incredible run for the Gold, for Austria.
