The most brutal downhill of the season on Eurosport 2 now! Thrilling stuff, especially in HD.

Yay. I had a go at this run two years ago. That steep bit at the end I did mainly on my arse, took a tumble just after the top, and it took me a hell of a lot longer than the pros and I had to stop a few times. I have a photo of me getting ready to descend on my board from the starting hut.

There's been many falls over the years and career ending injuries, it's a bit like the grand national, they keep trying to make the course safer but it's still the most dangerous around! As I type Puchner from Austria ends up in the nets.

Mrs Wz did a cartwheel down there about 20 years ago, 2 weeks after we found out she was pregnant with our son. Didn't seem to do him any harm

It's Millers line they are all following, he lead a new line in training and he skiied it the best, unfortunately between split 4 and 5 he took a line too low. Reichelt followed him but skiied it better.
Didier Cuche gave miller advice, which he followed, strange Cuche didn't give his advice to his former Swiss team mates.

Most suprising is Carlo Janka in 6th, the ice man is back!
Superb race! Bring on Sochi.

Just got back from Kitz last weekend. They had 2 helicopters dumping snow on the bottom section of the Streife from dawn til dusk every day and it was looking very shabby indeed despite this. Really pleased to see it went ahead, brilliant race.
