Oops!! I’ll check the OP date in future.
I wasn’t trying to be smart, I’m not that clever.

I remember only too well heading down the Hahnenkamm for the first time, as a fairly young, novice skier - perhaps a week before the annual Kitzbuhel downhill. They’d been icing the run.

There was no replication of Pirmin Zubriggen (my skiing hero of the time) just a useless amateur sliding down on his arse!

First thing I've seen going down faster then Burnley FC.

Many congrats Dave, gold medal, brilliant.

Pretty amazing that he can beat the alpine nations with their depth of talent !

[MT03ALG]

Dave is well known on the slopes of Europe but is/was unknown over here - until now !!

[TheOriginalLongsider]

Definitely not unknown for those that follow skiing and probably won’t register in the consciousness of others unless he goes on a streak of wins.
