All language subtitles for Streif.English

(Cuche): The Streif is the most dangerous part of the world,

and you know it.

The boundary between defeat or victory or success,

or to get healthy the finish or to overthrow, is very close.

(Church Männergesang)

(Rahlves): In the ski world there is nothing greater

when the race on the Streif!

The special feature is the sense of achievement,

if you fully to bottom attacked from above.

It is the most challenging of all ski slopes.

She has ended careers and dreams.

She has, however, some elevated to another level.

(Cuche): to feel this crazy atmosphere

gives additional motivation.

There are thousands of people who travel,

to watch this play or this film.

You do not know who will have the lead role.

But that is a feeling felt by the athlete,

if he is in Kitzbühel.

It is an honor to start there.

(Atmospheric music)

You have no choice, you have to give your best,

so what comes out good.

Therefore you have to respect the mountain, but to attack every time.

(Epic music)

It is very hard for me to explain

or to find a reason,

why I have won five times in Kitzbühel,

But I think just because I had to do my best,

to quickly go on such a difficult mountain,

that made me even more.

On other routes must not be

all the way go so uncompromising.

History was made ...

The first American downhill winner on the Streif.

It was such an intense dream that I had in a long time.

It was a great moment for me to win there in 2003,

but it was not an Austrian on the podium.

Didier Cuche was second, Norwegian Kjetil André Aamodt third.

An Austrian newspaper had on the front page

the next day a headline.

It said Black Saturday!

(Suspenseful music)

(Dispatches)

(Cheers)

(Epic music)

(Cry)

(Svindal): It is unlike any other World Cup races.

If you come down and yet are, if you have no injury,

then you feel how intense Kitzbühel.

The extreme distance makes Kitzbühel to what it is: the Streif.

(Reichelt): Kitzbühel ... Yes, goosebumps.

You do not even win.

You can say, you stood in Kitzbühel on the podium,

then people say: I can not believe you dare go down there yourself.

The feeling that I have in Kitzbühel,

that there is an enthusiasm, a show.

You see a champion who risked everything.

But for me it is never as the show was more important than the athlete.

For me, the athletes are the gladiators of the show.

All eyes are on them.

(Franz): You have to trust yourself that you down dwells thee,

that you give in every corner full gas.

That you the victory is the Streif you zutraust you this,

that's really difficult.

The speed of 150 km / h feel the adrenaline ...

I feel like something special, because I'm a downhill.

(Rock music)

(Narrator): "Please hands upwards for Dominik Paris of Italy"

(Lively music)

If you go go out skiing,

you can see a huge jump as a child in each hill.

And you try to imitate his heroes.

But the main thing is that we have fun in the snow.

This passion carries us through the whole career.

The!

The tension is incredible.

(Screams)

And now the entrance to the steep slope.

Four, three, two, one.

And here comes Franz Klammer.

Jumps in the mousetrap.

And he takes the curve closely.

It looks good.

(Cheers)

And a further leap.

And now comes Franz Klammer!

And Franz Klammer is the goal.

I'm not the Franz Klammer, I am of Aksel Lund Svindal

and wants to win the Streif once.

(Franz): From an early age it was with me, where nothing else than skiing.

There is nothing hotter,

than to stand on a mountain and runterzuheizen.

I am downhill, so I want off as soon as possible.

That's really cool skiing.

Whoa!

Next week begins the training.

Since it's full throttle again.

Now even go down some cool mountains,

that's enough motivation for next winter.

(Guitar Music)

Max, before winter, it is important

that we are constantly working to static.

We have to come down a lot you much more in the stability.

(He groans.)

The abdomen, the back, the entire posterior muscles,

must all be trained do much more.

We must also work on the adductors.

I need two and a half minutes, in which you can keep,

no matter what happens, no matter what race track.

My goal is to bring it to full throttle.

He has two and a half minutes, a departure may be.

He needs the static, have the power, but also the sensitivity,

endure on the ski.

Difficult.

Yes, Max, there are also 50 kilos inside.

The sternum is one much higher.

I want to see stability in the hull.

OK. Thank you.

Come on and good, good, good. Bite a bit.

Bite on the teeth.

Seal!

Body tension.

For opponents.

(Screams)

Sweating, the net hanging in the summer,

the simply belongs.

If you have a fall or injury, you think:

If I had done more, then that would not have happened.

The fitter you are, the safer you are on the go.

(Fast music)

Yes! One more, come on!

One more, hop!

(Rahlves): The Hahnenkamm is worldwide

known as the biggest stage of ski racing.

This is not a football field, which is manicured one week in advance.

This is a natural arena!

This is a year-round project for the Kitzbühel Ski Club.

There are so many factors.

The weather is constantly changing the portions of the circuit.

It is a natural terrain.

The safety nets and other precautions ...

we do not see these things as a race driver!

(Atmospheric music)

to get your name on a gondola in Kitzbühel,

is like a star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, only better.

Applause for our guest of honor Dominik Paris.

The quickest South Tyrol who has driven ever the Streif.

A round of applause for our guests of honor: Aksel Lund Svindal and Franz Klammer.

It's a big win, when you win the Super-G in Kitzbühel.

But you are not completely satisfied.

It's a dream to win the downhill race in Kitzbühel.

That is my goal.

(Reichelt): to come in the summer on the Streif is cool.

If you know what is in the winter for a RambaZamba since,

when you come down. 50,000 people cheering for you.

Whether you're Twentieth, cheer you,

because you're healthy bottom.

(Cuche): The Streif is not forgiving.

The only place where you can make up something,

is the local mountain to the finish.

(Reichelt): You think you just do not mess.

At the same time you think, you have to go the tighter line there already,

because the further you win nothing.

(Suspenseful music)

From mountain you have to go full throttle again

and think of nothing else than to attack.

Here it's all or nothing.

(Cuche): The Traverse must persevere or struggling

if you are too deep.

It is extremely schlagig, very cross.

The ridge to do the right thing or overthrow,

is very narrow.

(Speaker): "It happened the 14."

"And now it's down. 1:50:98 because he is."

And when you realize you're through,

then you throw yourself into the goal net.

This is the fastest part of the course.

Here you are tired and if you can, you try

yet so peaceful and relaxing as possible to stay,

while still ankämpfst against the forces.

You slow down, and since all hell breaks loose.

30,000, 40,000 people, which is a very special feeling.

At the same time you are the target, you have braked

that is, you're healthy.

The steep slope requires full commitment.

He is extremely icy, correctly restless and dark.

You have no chance to let up for a second.

In steep slope there is generally, from the entrance to the exit,

Curves afterwards decide how much speed you to take.

If you come in with two km / h

do you have at the end of the road another two tenths

and that is the flat passage.

That is why the exit steep slope, the killer line, very important.

(Svindal): Even if you drive a good line,

in the exit steep slope there is only one:

Fighting, so you do not fly into the net.

You have to have a lot of courage.

(Reichelt): The Mousetrap is a grisly passage.

Grausig in the sense because it can be dangerous to the limit.

(Suspenseful music)

(Cuche): The Streif is right at the start so extreme

that you do not know where you can take out a bit of pace.

It is so steep that you can not the.

You know that you have to take many risks.

On the Streif you have no time, fear.

When that happens, you've already lost.

(Svindal): If you want to go for victory, the following applies:

All or nothing.

But you have to go to this limit,

otherwise you're just someone who is mitgefahren.

(Reichelt): I think earlier I would have said,

A downhill is a guy who has 100 kilos or 95,

and he is a brutal wild sow.

But since Daron Rahlves I knew who had only 80 kilos

and has won the most brilliant runs the world.

I thought, okay,

you can also as a lightweight and technically good runner

be a downhill racer and win the downhill.

Proper shutdown can be trained only in a World Cup race.

The normal training can never be so extreme

like a real race.

For a downhill training you need to lock a whole mountain.

Ski training you have in the summer and do in autumn,

in winter there is no time.

You are always on the go and drive World Cup races.

If you have to work out in the winter yet, have you omit race.

And if you are not at all the races here, you lose points

and can bring no World Cup title.

Speed does not depend on top speed.

But how fast you can get through the corners.

You have to force yourself,

driving faster than you would like.

And that's what you do in the downhill.

No matter what kind of a competition.

From racing driver you sense immediately that you want to win.

(Squealing tires)

In motor sports, and the exit there are many similarities:

It is fast.

One need similar skills to win.

You have to find the ideal line,

take rate of the curve

while building and the maximum grip.

(Fast music)

You have the centrifugal force and speed,

all similar to skiing.

But one thing missing while skiing:

One sees on the downhill course no opponent.

Marcel Hirscher and I, we have many battles for the overall World Cup.

He wins in slalom and giant slalom,

I in downhill and Super-G.

(Triumphant music)

It's like a battle that takes place in two different races.

(Cheers)

I know of myself that I do not like to lose.

But I think Marcel is even worse.

He hates to lose.

(Silently)

It is the feeling of catching something uncontrollable,

something crazy like Kitzbühel to power down with 140 km / h.

And the best feeling to think about:

That's not enough, I want more!

If you have come down, given everything

and you are standing in the leader's box ... Nothing is comparable.

(Slow music)

I was second once, a few times in fifth in Kitzbühel,

But Kitzbühel win - that would be something else entirely.

Unfortunately, I have not experienced, but that would be something,

where I was really proud of me, if I could say to me:

I won the Hahnenkamm race!

It is difficult to be hell to watch.

You must be patient and trust yourself,

that in the end everything will be fine again.

One has to be very strong mentally,

to come back after such injuries.

But if one's sport, outdoor fun and the competition loves

if one is for the right reasons,

then the answer is easy: You bite your way through,

and then leaves you it rip again.

Of course, injuries are part of a career.

I think I've gotten my share of them.

I hope this is the last time,

so I do not again have to grapple with it.

However, it is a roller coaster ride in any case.

It has booms and thinks everything is going great,

Do you think you're making progress.

And then one false move, you hurt yourself

and are for the season outside, or longer.

Some then no longer come back.

In the career of racer include injuries to.

In this sport, there are moments when the worst happens.

As Abfahrer you have the hide,

otherwise you put yourself in danger.

Although this is not always easy.

(Albrecht): The relationship with the Streif was actually very good.

The Streif was a very special downhill.

But it was a departure that has me very fit.

They came to meet my abilities.

I remember the accident year.

It was the year where it all went smoothly for me.

Everything worked.

Then came the Streif, and I knew it was my departure,

now I can show you how it works.

On the final jump, in which I lifted,

I can not remember to happiness.

When I from the hospital was the first time at the weekend home,

I've thought, I need to know what happened,

because surely everyone will ask me how I feel.

I knew by then not yet know what has really happened.

Then I have looked at the Internet on YouTube times.

I have seen that I am the,

but I had no reference to it.

In daily life, the respect has been lacking for anything.

the life you had to rebuild.

The fall was actually a very small error.

The effects were very large.

I could have died, I was pretty close.

In the beginning, when I was still in the hospital, you knew no one.

Although I knew this woman comes every day,

which brings every day the food is a good woman.

But one does not ask questions.

One does not know is that an employee,

is your mother, who's that? One does not know.

The then everything comes gradually with the conversation,

because the mother, the parents and the woman were still in the hospital.

With whom one speaks always, then you realize as time itself,

It's my wife, it's my parents.

Then you realize someday, you're a skier.

One asks the people who run around a:

What happened? What I was a skier?

Man has no more relations.

It is difficult, when someone tells you you're a World Cup skiers.

Cup driver, okay. What is a World Cup rider?

I had to check everything new, the whole life.

When I'm not located in the hospital, I do not really have all said,

Top sport gets.

This has annoyed me because I want to decide

whether it is or not.

It think many, why not listen to the?

Why he attempts still? Why can he not solve it?

I continue because I want to do myself a favor,

so I am really free.

I would only cease if I lose the joy.

My goal would be to know where are my limits.

I want to know how I feel from the head.

How far can I? What's from the head still possible?

(Melancholic music)

I have very early yet told in the hospital,

I want to streak back, and I want to show the Streif,

Who's the boss.

(Cuche): Two years Dani tried to come back.

Unfortunately, it has lost its ability to

to react quickly enough at high speeds.

Stop was reasonable.

(Albrecht): I'll probably never be the skier,

has the pleasure of slow skiing.

I will always be the first in the morning, standing on the runway,

so I can three or four trips go a bit faster.

I will probably always stay skiers.

When Kitzbühel downhill race I sit here like a little child.

That was twelve as it does today.

All of us know that it is dangerous.

Racing is dangerous, period.

(Guitar Music)

Geil, huh?

Max is there because of the friendship.

In children's and student years he was my biggest rival.

The difference between us was already clearly visible.

I have a backflip done on skis, Max two.

He was the one who was willing to take risks and open than I.

But I was the one who brought a cleaner technology.

So our paths have separated then.

But the "wild dog be" Max is completely pain free.

It's also nice to see how is my physical condition,

as is the physical condition of Max, what are the differences.

For Max it is certainly good that he sees what another time.

For me it's definitely a lot more fun,

as every day to lift weights alone

pursue and my activities.

(Fast music)

It's wild.

In slalom you need the dynamism, speed strength.

Meanwhile, we are talking about nine meters Torabstand in slalom.

You have a Kraftsau be, so you can speed up the skis so,

that you can keep up internationally.

In my opinion one gets out that if you train versatile.

(Unintelligible instructions)

(Lively music)

(Trainer): A stretched arm.

No no no no.

(Cry)

(Laughter)

I can remember well, two years ago,

because the expectation was just there:

If the Hirscher is there, he has to win.

That's great, that people expect.

On the other hand you're thinking: Whew!

I do not know myself how it goes sometimes.

But it always manages that to trick gravity

and thinks in retrospect: How's that gone?

I get goose bumps because I myself do not know how to do it.

(Triumphant music)

(Cheers)

(Loud scream)

(Cuche): Only the slalom makes the Hahnenkamm games perfectly.

Legends like Killy, the last to exit and win slalom could,

1967, which is to date no one has succeeded.

Stenmark, Tomba Girardelli.

The last Kitzbuehel, who won on his home mountain,

Hansi Hinterseer was 1974th

(Cheers)

My memories of the slalom:

I was 19 years, and I have been in a good mood.

It was perfect from the first floor used to the last swing anything.

I twice went fastest.

Winning here is wonderful.

(Cuche): The first race on the Streif was held 1937th

(Lively music)

Even then people were excited about this race.

When the race was always famous, the Kitzbüheler wonder team emerged.

Six young men from Kitzbühel.

The best two were Anderl Molterer and Toni Sailer.

(Speaker): "men's downhill run of the strip,

The highlight of the Hahnenkamm race. "

"That's Anderl Molterer, the white flash of Kitz."

"In a flash he whizzes down the last steep slope."

"He still hopes to be champion."

"And now Toni Sailer."

"In the mousetrap on the 3900-meter-long,

partly iced stretch, initially slower than Molterer. "

"In the lower part of the three-time Olympic champion is catching up again."

"About 100 kilometers per hour it reaches."

"Sailer won the downhill race in 2:47:01."

(Triumphant music)

(Cuche): Kitzbühel is like a magnet.

(Lively music)

All want to be there, the beautiful and the rich.

Ski heroes are admired and celebrated festivals.

In the 60's Karl Schranz was the greatest.

He managed four times to win the Streif.

A record that would last.

In the 70s the wild rides of Franz Klammer became legendary.

He even managed to win the race three times in a row.

(Singing): Oh, we are due to the clamp DO.

Kitzbühel is just brutal.

The Mousetrap, escarpment exit

and Hausbergkannte finish down ...

One can not imagine that.

This is the most challenging descent of all.

The race I had to win.

Personally, I had to win it.

(Cheers)

(All): Franzi! Franzi! Franzi!

Franzi! Franzi! Franzi!

(Voices)

I was not thinking that I drive best.

(Cuche): But the Streif already had its terrors.

Who has not been paying attention, was dropped.

It is very brutal, I would almost say dangerous.

Such a difficult descent, there is nowhere.

(Dull report)

It has everything a steep slope, heavy and light curves,

Sheet. It is very intense.

After I won the third time,

followed by a break of seven years.

I could not believe it.

'84 I was at the start, and I knew that I would win.

So I'm down with the last determination.

That was about as in the first race.

The fourth victory in Kitzbühel was the greatest success

next to the Olympic gold medal in Innsbruck.

(Commentators): "This is the Franz Klammer, as we know it."

"He has certainly heard on radio,

that the exit escarpment is higher to go. "

"Meanwhile, oh, looking out quickly."

"For half a second ahead!"

"Half a second faster than Cathomen."

"And here at the edge of the slope in the audience as it simmers now,

when Franz Klammer descends. "

"This could go." - "Yes!"

"Yes, 02:02:82."

"02:02:82, now even looking the Franz Klammer in the face."

"He is happy."

(Cheers)

Saturday, January 21, 1984th

At the finish area of Kitzbühel hell has broken loose.

celebrate thousands fanatical spectators

Franz Klammer's 25th World Cup victory in the downhill.

(Clip): The fact that I have so created a hype, I was pleased.

I enjoyed the. I like skied.

By the way I used to ski, I have inspired many

and brought to skiing, was a pleasure.

Mausefalle jump!

(Commentator): "The Friedl is fast, faster than Werner!"

Fritz "The Cat" Strobl continues today

the course record on the Streif.

"Because he has a little up set."

"On the screen we see. One, two, 55."

1997 all came together.

The course on the mountain was set to direct.

It was four to five seconds faster

than any other time thereafter.

This record will remain out of reach.

Hermann Maier was the next hero on the Streif.

He was the best skier of his time early 2000s.

(Commentator): "! In God's care Brakes"

It was an emotional time for me, he was in top form and that type,

the one had to beat!

With many super-G wins on the Hahnenkamm

he finally won his first downhill on the Streif.

(Commentator): "Now Hermann Maier"

(Rock music)

(Maier): Kitzbühel is certainly special.

Hermann Maier had a terrible accident,

and no one knew whether he comes back ever again.

He did not even know if he will ever go back to.

But he came in 2003 with great pain back.

He surprised us and probably himself.

(Commentator): "As if he had never stopped."

"He's far been outside, and he comes in with personal best!"

He came back and won the Super-G on the Hahnenkamm. Hats off!

(Austrian national anthem)

(Maier): This is a special moment.

There is something else, you need to know about 2003:

History was made.

The first American downhill winner on the Streif.

I had the feeling that my victory was predetermined.

I lived only for this moment.

(Kommentator): "Daron Rahlves
from the United States of America."

I had a scary moment in the crossbeam,

where I overlooked a bump. It pulled me apart skis.

But I could parry and came from the lead to the finish.

I was so exhausted and. In this moment in another world

That was the greatest day of my life as a skier.

(Commentator): "Daron Rahlves from the United States."

(American Anthem)

(Quantity): USA! USA! USA! USA!

Welcome Daron Rahlves!

(Partymusik)

2004 I had probably my best week in Kitzbuhel.

I was in top form. And won the Super-G the day before.

That was my time to reach again.

I came down with so much and Confidence

and am really drove good skiing.

I was in the lead and thought: I did it!

But this Stephan Eberharter ...

I deliberately took all the risk. Has paid off.

He gave everything from the start.

His trip was so full of power, so precise.

The timing and the rhythm as he skied ...

He was so aggressive, everything was perfect for him together.

He was so far ahead in the meantime.

I thought: Please, somewhere a little slower!

I want to repeat my victory departure!

I think his trip was the best of times!

(Commentators): "Stephan Eberharter, Yes That's it."

Stephan, hats off to you. That was a hell of a ride!

(Austrian national anthem)

If you look back in history,

four wins from Karl Schranz, four wins from Franz Klammer ...

No one could have imagined that this could be exceeded.

But these Swiss, Didier Cuche! He made it true!

He pulverized these records with five Streif victories.

When I stood for the first time GE at the start, I was really frightened.

four of the first five are fallen,

three had to be hospitalized.

I thought, how can I make it to the finish,

if from the best already five have fallen?

I would prefer went out backwards from the starting gate.

I have lost about eight and a half seconds.

In the second trip I was 21. After an injury year '98

was my very first World Cup win on the Streif.

I never thought.

But it took ten years before I win again, of 2008.

It was not the original course, it was a bit shortened.

Two years later, in 2010, I won again.

This was the first time from the very top, the entire original route.

(Commentator): "Congratulations."

2011, I was in the flow with one second ahead.

After this perfect trip I was finally satisfied with me.

I slept like a baby.

The longer a series lasts, the closer you get to the point

where it comes to an end this series.

I sort of felt: Let it be before it is too late.

Throughout the history of Kitzbühel look hip,

Every year it has caught a bad.

When you see that, you think, it may be that you even turn come.

It was very special to tell two or three days before the race,

that I start the last time on the Streif,

and then to the victory on Saturday.

At the finish it was almost beyond belief.

I thought, why I'm lucky,

that since I once again can be at the top,

during my last trip before I stop skiing.

Since I have even thank me right at the mountain.

(Fast music)

My name is Yuri Danilochkin. I am Belarusian skier.

My Way Kitzbühel starts here in Minsk,

where we have neither mountains nor snow.

Crazy, but true!

It all started when I Hermann Maier and Stephan Eberharter

the Streif saw go down in Kitzbühel.

And I believe one day so to be a legend.

(Quiet electric guitar music)

(Incomprehensible reputation)

Ah!

I want to find out who I am.

And alpine skiing gives me this chance.

Especially the downhill.

In a few days it goes back in the winter.

We return to the Alps to ski and due to departure.

I drive my car ... a tractor.

I am very motivated for next season,

because I want to return to the World Cup circuit again.

We can not fly to Canada or America, that is too expensive.

But we can travel through Europe.

I have no way of leaving to train in front of the Val Gardena race.

This is a big problem for the result.

We have no money to travel to Canada or America.

The air tickets are too expensive.

I asked the Belarusian Association to help me.

Not possible!

At the beginning of the season, the pressure is greatest.

Where you stand? How well the others have trained?

You just know, after the first race.

(Fast music)

The road to the World Cup is long.

With one and a half years I have been for the first time on skis.

With five or six were the first children's race.

From 15 we go to the FIS area.

And then the European Cup to the World Cup.

Since it is the real thing. You're going against the best in the world.

(Slow music)

It is very difficult again. Cold!

No time to eat or wash my hair.

(You speak Russian.)

We are only two in our team. I and my mother Natali.

To survive on the tour,

we ask our friends often to accommodation.

Sometimes we ask them for gas money, because we have no money,

to continue our trip among the World Cup stages.

I try to remember

that it is a very difficult job for both of us.

Every mistake is like a nuclear bomb.

It is often difficult for me to talk to her.

But I love her anyway.

My son is very, very talented.

I think he is the best downhill.

To be in the departure forward, is about much more.

To the art training to ski testing,

so we know exactly what we ski,

which touches, which wax is well under these conditions.

These are important points for you to have a chance at all,

forward to be there.

My competitors have so many pairs of skis. Perhaps 20 pair.

My son has very few.

I have to prepare every day skiing.

I do not sleep, my legs are always very difficult.

It is hard, all night long to prepare ski.

I am a woman Terminator.

And, the Terminator!

At the top the air is thin, because it is about hundredths.

Without professional environment you have no chance.

We need to change something, we need more money.

A good result in Kitzbühel can help us.

The Streif gives me the chance to show something better,

to be better, faster skiing.

As it looks currently bleak.

The weather does not look so bad.

This has previously also been added.

'88 Only the fences have ever been.

There was not even a white spot.

But that will not kill us,

because that has never killed us.

And we do it best, they say stop.

So a bleak story.

(Cuche): As a racing driver you do not get with,

drama which often takes place in order to prepare the route.

On the north side of the Alps just want to fall no more snow.

And it's too warm to produce snow.

90 percent of the route are in the best condition.

Only the small spot on the mountain makes very worried.

There can of hot hair dryer to melt the snow.

The weather report says further,

that it is cooler, but not cold.

We know there's nothing like having snow machines.

That would be the easiest. Two cold nights and it would be done.

We can no longer wait.

If we want to achieve what it has to happen now.

If someone is a what?

I think there is only the fly.

I know we are not for flying.

But it must be easy. What alternative do we have?

We hope for understanding from the locals.

I think they know that we move very much.

It will work.

It is what at us, but we will do that.

All expect to drive over the mountain.

This is clear, because that is the attraction at the Hahnenkamm race.

Let's hope it comes across the stage, it is useless.

We will make two teams.

A loading and unloading.

That must jerk, go twitching, everybody can be hinlangen.

I have no doubts that we can not do it.

That is, 900 meters, 850 meters route,

relatively horizontal fly.

Much more it is not. We have calculated three minutes per flight.

For one cubic meter of snow we need eleven-minute flight.

The question is of course the cost factor in our planning,

and how it looks with the temperatures.

Will we get it back,

that we then can truly represent the cost?

I think we should try and we should do it.

The Hahnenkamm race has to go over the mountain,

that is the special attraction.

(electronic music)

Now we do today again into the mountain.

We are motivated that we can carry out the race.

After the last warm night, we had,

ten degrees plus on the Hausbergkannte,

we hope that the next time the cold comes,

which is predicted.

In order for the work that we are doing here is not entirely in vain.

(Drumming)

(Cuche): It takes a lot of people with passion,

that the stage is so perfect again

and that there is a perfect show is back.

Exactly this Kitzbühel make that possible.

Hello Mrs! Hi, Lenny!

Only six weeks until you see me again.

Today they have confirmed Kitzbühel. - Good! Even with the snow?

Yes, it was quite uncertain because it was pretty green.

They have only confirmed today that it will take place.

You know Kitzbühel - they do everything to make it take place.

Helicopters bring the snow.

In Europe, the duel between Aksel and me is hyped.

Because we are just first and second place in the rankings.

I thought you were good friends two.

Yes, off the track, but enemies on the track.

The fight is on!

The next races are very important for me.

Wengen, then to Kitzbühel.

I'm excited, can not wait.

Challenge accepted!

Erik, go on.

I think this year to have a good chance to win.

There, everything plays out in your head.

At the beginning of the season I was not even sure

how to react to my knees. Now I know that it holds.

In Kitzbühel you have to decide,

whether the price is worth the risk.

It all depends, are willing to how much risk you.

Aksel Svindal is probably the number one challenger.

Bode Miller this year is back.

They both want to win, like me!

The still want giant slalom, then let's go giant slalom!

Bye, Lenny! Bye, Logann.

Kisses! - Say "bye"!

I love you! See you soon! - We love you!

Gut. Bye-bye.
- Bye!

A track like the Streif, is not designed, built route,

but has arisen over the decades,

has the limitation that it does not fall area.

Therefore you have to set up many networks.

20 days before the race, we begin to build,

to build the whole A-nets.

And then to make the backup with the B-networks.

When a crash happens, comes an unlikely energy together.

Since you need then the networks

and all other backups that we are building now.

But of course, if it happens on the slopes,

then he goes out not so good.

(Tragic music)

Basically, a track is not dangerous.

A route has a certain profile, and so, how to behave on it,

then creates either a risk or not.

Quite earlier came towards matting.

It was icy, and then were the hard.

The is simply driven against a wall.

The audience hung on the fence,

that have put the fence who wanted to live, to see so close.

(Screams)

Today one sees everywhere triple fences.

The audience is locked.

And below, behind the networks, it is once again blocked.

At the time one has not checked how dangerous that is.

And on the mousetrap down, right everything rocks,

if you have missed the direction of top ...

The Japanese are over it jumped over the fences.

(Slow, tragic music)

(Screams)

I can not remember why I crashed.

I've just seen on TV.

It looked exactly how I feel right now.

(Commentator): "A bad fall Ski knocked away!"

I have a headache. My neck, my back.

I've also re-injured the knee,

but I think that's not so bad.

In the steep slope I'm purely driven normally.

Then I came in a little supine,

and there was a bump.

I fell into the net, then I know nothing more.

(Commentator): "Flaschberger serious fall."

Below, as I lay on the net, I look over to the right,

then I saw the hand is only a bit since.

I thought, hell, what's going on?

I had a feeling, but it was not a hand there.

(Reporter): Pays up from the risk?

Kitzbühel always pays for a downhill.

There is a feeling when you stand up there,

which can be compared with anything else.

For a downhill which is the greatest.

I want to go down again.

Anyone who runtererfährt because, as we do not talk,

these are all wild dog.

I always say, who descends there,

is for me classified under "other people".

Because a normal can not do that.

Since you need decent up there what is missing, that you do it.

(Triumphant music)

There is God in the Company,

that people want to see crashes.

It is macabre, but there are more viewers.

That's the bad thing.

(Cheering and trumpets)

It is actually not the goal of an organizer,

that he falls on the slopes, but that he has a fair race

and that the runners all well come down.

That all come home safely.

The runners go to the starting line, who know what they are doing.

They know exactly what they do, these are professionals.

What I mean here the Scheinheilig- speed is always only then,

if something happens, the voices are waking up, who said earlier:

Yes, hopefully there is something going on!

Sometimes a bit more respect for the sport would also be necessary.

We have made a series of tests a few years ago.

Dummy with measuring plate, have the down the steep slope

sent into the net. Speed 110 was km / h.

We are draufgekommen

if the cracks with an angle of 90 degrees in the network,

forces occur of about 14 g.

If that happens to you, then you gone easy're just dead.

That is, the measure for this was A network behind that are the high,

and before that staggered even B networks,

the back, the distance at which the energy is dissipated extend.

You have to accept a runway, as it is.

But you have to try to attack.

That's still safer than defensive driving.

Otherwise it will be dangerous.

I can only say one thing:

Each runner visited before he takes off,

and at the start is no one who enters and catapulted him.

He decides. Meanwhile, the runners are aware.

The risk of injury from the hard slope is always given.

At the exit that is.

(Suspenseful music)

The worst part is the lateral impact.

The deformation of the brain is the worst

what can the runners pass.

(Grugger): The question of whether the risk is too high,

I was not aware before my accident, I have to say.

Although I have noticed the whole thing from Albrecht Dani.

One hopes, of course, that good emanates.

But has noticed as one who Dani is out of the coma,

and is doing quite well, and so, that's actually for you

as an active racers no longer an issue.

One tries the fast to push aside

so you can practice the sport at all.

In hindsight

It is already so that the question arises whether it was worth the whole thing.

(Commentator): "Hans Grugger, the 29-year-old from Bad Hofgastein."

On the Streif I was actually

not particularly comfortable in my early years.

I never had good results.

(Commentator): "Happy, Hansi."

"Hopefully, a step in the right direction."

How do you feel there again, at the start?

So far good. For me it is not so bad,

because I have no memory of it. - Right.

(Commentator): "Ouch Ouch Ouch!"

(Quiet music)

Two years after Hans' fall we went to the track

and have looked at that. I was for the first time on the Streif.

When mousetrap me spit stayed away.

That's just a very difficult and challenging route.

(Suspenseful music)

(Quiet music)

The entire fall was of course a huge incision

and a huge change in the life of Hans.

It changed everything.

(Quiet, tragic music)

(Helicopter noise)

If initially the first one photo,

we've seen on CT, looks,

you have to say he has had a high risk of dying because

or at least to remain persistently severely disabled.

The first seven days it's all about,

whether the patient survived.

(Ingrid): The first critical hours

and the first very critical days were very difficult.

(Doctor): That he is added to the ice sheet,

has meant that the artery is torn here.

And that's always dangerous that patients get strokes.

No patient who suffers such a severe head injury,

has a chance to be the same as before.

It will be different in each case.

(Ingrid): If Hans had taken ten minutes longer,

to come to the hospital, he would certainly not have survived.

(Darker music and beeps)

(Hopeful music)

(Pieptöne)

(Ingrid): excited about you even when you're around again?

I hope that everything runs smoothly.

(Ingrid): Yes, that is already fit.

I hope that I will have no damage.

(Ingrid): No.

Otherwise it helps anything anyway. - (Ingrid): No.

It was a question mark for me.

What if the Hans remains a long-term care?

I just watched that I help him that I support him,

Things around organizing that I give all my energy to him.

From where I can remember back,

has come to my therapist.

They then wanted to go away,

this is such a moment that will stay forever in my memory.

I was then very sadly.

I have noticed for the first time what is actually happening to me.

My biggest thing was just in the course of therapy,

if I mentally can become normal again.

(Slow guitar music)

I have the images for the first time

eight, nine months looked after my fall.

I had a hell of fear before I pressed the play button.

Because I did not really recognize me.

For me that was on the screen simply a person who has fallen.

That was my feeling at the whole.

Before the fall we were at eye level,

and after the fall of course not.

One must then again somehow come there as a couple.

And, um ...

This is not as easy and does not happen overnight.

These athletes are indeed the modern gladiators.

The press wants heroes.

It was an enormous pressure on Mr Grugger,

to re-start with the competitive sports.

He was standing so self-critical supply that does not make sense.

That was his greatest achievement.

(Grugger): I have posted, as I have seen,

that does not work with my foot.

I trained hard,

but I had no longer connect to my foot.

That was the main reason that I have seen,

that it is no longer sufficient for elite sport.

We know downhill skiing is a priori a borderline sports.

And the risk of injury to such trauma would massively increased.

For me it's really,

despite everything that has happened, absolutely beautiful,

because I'm just thankful

that me the Streif has left alive.

That I ever have the opportunity runterzufahren still there.

Although no longer in the race pace, but still on skis.

By the by, it is for me with the Streif

a cordial relationship.

It is not marked by sadness.

Despite the hard work of the Kitzbühel Ski Club

FIS has opted for an alternative route.

Not the traditional route via the Hausberg

and to drive in the Traverse.

For security reasons it will not take place.

The Good: There is an alternative route.

It is still very difficult to win.

Mother Nature intended, we must act accordingly.

(Suspenseful music)

Kitzbühel is the ultimate test for me

for strength and courage in ski racing.

It is not enough to be in top shape physically and technically to drive well.

You must also have a lot of courage. This is what in the downhill.

Of course you have to be a good skier,

but you must be willing to risk everything.

Maybe you end up in the fence, but maybe you win.

(Yawning)

Tired, fresh? - Actually, I slept well.

A little less than the nights before, but better.

If you eat more protein, it gets better.

Too many carbs and your insulin levels rise.

Then you do not sleep so well.

(Atmospheric music)

Nervous before your first time?

Not really. Even quite enthusiastic!

You are, after all, already driven the Super-G.

But the departure never!

I'm excited. I wanted to do my whole life.

Here is the chance!

I think the best part is,

if you're going skiing quite impartially at the first round.

Try out everything.

Then analyzed the sections that have not worked

and where you will have better.

If you have in mind, the steep slope exit is important,

you'll just remember. There is quite a bit of it!

Its hard!

Throughout the year, you prepare yourself to Kitzbühel

and these big races before, and then hurt you look at the verge

that's like ... Oh!

Over my first run

I can remember my first visit.

I remember how I got out of the start house and thought:

I can not go down there!

The first trip was quite stressful.

I was passive and remember that I stood on the brakes.

I believe this is the worst and most dangerous kind to drive.

In the moment in which you hesitate, the Streif takes control.

The Contradictory in all these years is:

The more you're going down, the more you realize

you gain control, attack must.

It feels like you kontrolliertest something uncontrollable.

(Svindal): Even though the start house and the goal of every year are the same,

that does not mean that the distance is equal.

A few degrees difference in temperature at night,

and the next day it is a completely new game.

You have to have a look exactly the snow conditions.

Only then can you make a good plan, as it can go.

(Suspenseful music)

A slight curve from the previous year, in the next

one of his most difficult.

Because you simply into coming with much more speed.

You have to ask yourself: How fast will it be?

There is no limit in the centrifugal forces,

the slopes are not after, your body is the weak point.

Do you write your mom before you start?

No, Grandma. - The grandmother?

I hope everything will go well. Best regards.

I do not think.

But that's always great. - I love you.

Let the same photo, the two of us, I can then send Mama.

Thank you. - You're welcome.

Again and again impressively, even for me!

After three years without runterzufahren I'm almost to scared.

In earnest?

Not really, but it's still impressive.

However!

Abfahrer fight against himself.

We are fighting against the course and against our inner fears,

to go faster.

The aim is to show the best line.

We do not fight against each other, do not think I have to beat him!

No, we have to be faster. That's our main goal.

(Slow music)

(Narrator): "Now a applause for Yuri Danilochkin!"

I am very nervous.

Before the first training I drink a whiskey at the bar.

I need to learn how to be better and faster.

And the other coaches listen to the tour,

what they tell their top athletes.

And then I do it my way!

If you verhaust a curve, you have two options:

Either with improvisation momentum, so a bit of drift,

to get back on the racing line,

or simply drag and beinhart.

You have to decide then instinctively.

You have a few hundredths, a tenth time,

you do the later.

That is, I think, a sense of history,

Years of experience. I think that does it.

(Franz): During the tour you look from day to day,

where developed what.

As a shock develops because you have a wave.

The more you down drive, the more security you get.

You have you stop the best passages,

which you went in the years, get together,

and there really tinker a ride it.

The best I go when I can go by instinct.

If you go and begin to think,

then the curve is over, and you're standing next to it.

There is no more time to think, you need only run.

If you hinbringst the, you drive best.

Hey, Erik! Hi, Daron. How are you? Tweaks the back?

No, my knee. I hurt myself in Wengen at the knee.

Man, are you going this season as well!

Do you think to be able to go today, that you will win?

No, I do not drive the exit. It is hard, but it is!

(Narrator): "And Miller ..."

This year we only one training run.

I thought I must to the border to see what is possible.

I've been waiting long for it to win this race.

There is still a great price.

The mountain is the track something special,

because it is so demanding.

so to go on this mountain ski,

I did not want to miss this, restrain myself.

It would be ridiculous not to drive as I could.

I am very disappointed,

I can not finish the race in Kitzbühel.

I prepare all year on it before

and last year I was the victory so close.

On the other hand my knee is not so that I can go racing.

Kitzbühel is not the place where you start,

if you're fit only to 90 percent.

This makes it easier to deal with the decision.

And there's always next year.

I am convinced that we still have a few years ahead of me.

I come back.

(Atmospheric music)

The forecast for next few days does not look very bright.

I know you had already hard times.

It will not be better in the coming days.

That is for us, we all need each other,

We grew up here ...

We live in Kitzbühel, and we know that a lot of snow coming.

The reserves of the Armed Forces are now on the way here.

It is necessary to work night and day on the slopes.

This is now safe for 48 hours.

It is actually now around race and survival.

(Suspenseful music)

Just as the Streif has spawned legends,

so this also has the Kitzbühel slalom.

The current favorite Marcel Hirscher is fighting against his rival,

Felix Neureuther of Germany.

The energy used is equivalent to that at the exit!

The weekend in Kitzbühel is cer- tainly underlined three times in red.

The one who wins Kitzbuehel who definitely in Sport

a certain pride of place or status,

he has really hard I think deserves.

In the World Cup calendar, there is nothing greater, more spectacular,

what you can win, because it is the most difficult slalom slope.

(Hirscher): The Felix is sometimes the best slalom skier, there is.

(Narrator): "Felix Neureuther against Hirscher."

(Triumphant music)

(Cheers)

A certain amount of rivalry is.

Because up when we all go out from the Starthäusel,

nobody wants the others that he is in front of him.

(From the starting gate): Come on, Felix! Attack!

(Neureuther): If the Marcel kicks, you know,

that one is right at the forefront. He is an extremely tough guy.

I will try to put pressure on him that he makes mistakes.

Marcel beating in Kitzbühel is the main objective.

(Hirscher): If Felix had not been there when I've won,

the challenged me so, I would not have been in the situation,

that I may bring a top performance.

This requires someone who gives you a kick in the ass.

Primarily, I think, a prerequisite for success is always the art.

If you lead in the first round,

you need the whole thing can implement again.

You have pressure to deal, otherwise it does not work.

Everyone has a certain respect.

I think that needs it,

so you can survive longer than one season.

(Neureuther): The slalom is like a ride the razor.

The slightest error will be punished immediately.

It begins at the top of the head and listens to the bottom of the foot.

Because everything has to fit.

(Narrator): "All have been waiting for this heart-stopping!"

"Neureuther against Hirscher!"

(From Start House): Let's go, Felix!

(Slow music)

(Neureuther): This is a completely special slope,

to it so actually in the World Cup not even similar are only rudimentary.

It goes right up steeply away, it's total commitment.

There are so many sharp transitions indoors, different slope angles.

You always have to push full throttle, pushing, pushing.

That's what you otherwise in any other race.

(Slow music)

(Triumphant music and cheers)

(Hirscher): Behind you are 50,000 people live.

On television, two million in Austria alone.

Since there are really no turning back,

since there is really only one forward.

(Slow music)

(Cheers)

If you're so close to a victory,

then there is no "finish second." You want to win.

(Cheers)

(Cheers)

Bode Miller, sensational training ride.

So I think it's necessary that you win the race.

It's actually not all that a problem

as like with my back.

During summer training on the Stelvio Pass, a stupid punch.

All season I fight now with the pain in the back.

(Quiet music)

Actually, I have it, so far, to Kitzbühel

pretty well had the touch.

And now, hopefully, hopefully comes the awaited.

No, there must now dig in a dog to me.

Since I have to go. As an Austrian, you have to go there.

(Cheering in the background)

(Franz): Tom, I believe tomorrow will be good.

You only need one driving smart,

because the ski is not lying.

Have you done your work? Is it only me?

My work is done tomorrow, then you have to do the rest.

come down error free, then fit it. We are already packed.

Make me only print! But on the Streif need to.

Until tomorrow, we give gas.

(Quiet, suspenseful music)

The next 24 hours will be tough.

Snowfall is announced, I hope everyone knows what to do.

Axel, how it looks with the Notrutschern?

They are alarmed.

How many machines we have on standby?

So much do we need so many machines are there.

The large and the small spin are also there.

(Dispatches)

If the mountain rescue at the start?

That's great. Because in the night it is dangerous.

Since only one needs to slip. It's pretty slick.

(Suspenseful music)

Once the runway is free, we make the nets again,

so that we can make the grade.

A bit ambush We also have.

The two at the top, of Peter, who must also join in.

And the Sailer Toni also. The want to test you,

if you manage to make the inhuman.

The will look down and help.

If the devil come, then we push the even beyond.

At seven in the morning runs to the jury,

and since the racing line should be free.

A big thank you and a big compliment to this man,

the piste manager and his team.

You have worked hard and we have an excellent race course.

The only one with whom we have to cope,

is the weather!

(Atmospheric music)

to drive people before so many thousand is very likely

as if a rock star before x-thousands of people can sing.

But he knows that he is the number one, because all come for him.

For skiing you know only just after the race,

whether you were or not the number one.

But anyway, as an athlete you realize

that you are a real part of the show.

As a racer, I have always utilized the energy of the audience,

around me attract even more in Kitzbühel.

It helped me to train harder on the Streif.

(Radio message): "Laerchenschuss, okay."

"Mousetrap floor, okay."

"Steilhang, okay."

(Franz): If you then up move your gondola to the start area,

you rise from the top, then begins the concentration phase.

Round are all people,

and you must not be distracted by them.

You have to focus yourself properly.

This is the great art in Kitzbühel that you keep a cool head.

Rider, are the on position?

(Radio): "Herbert, we are on the way."

(Suspenseful music)

(Svindal): Even if the track is not so crazy

as in the worst years, all go a bit faster,

than they would like, because they are trying to win.

(Radio): "We are ready."

(Triumphant music)

(Suspenseful music)

(Radio): "The fog has become thicker."

"Laerchenschuss Visibility: a goal."

(Reichelt): Kitzbühel is not only due to the many falls,

but also technically challenging.

Everyone is nervous and tense.

Not only the runners but also the whole environment is in hundreds.

(Svindal): Before the race is everything you do to focus you,

to get into the race mode.

It takes strength to build the concentration,

to win something that you really afraid.

And that is the difference at any other track.

(Fast Brass Band)

(Quiet, suspenseful music)

If you drive the race, you drive for yourself.

It is a lonely struggle. No other athlete is in your head.

If one drives ski race, you go against the course.

(Svindal): The route is certainly the most difficult.

There are many media and 50,000 spectators.

But the track itself robs the largest energy, it is extreme.

(Radio): "At the moment no fog Laerchenschuss."

"Runway is okay." - "Sprühteam, you are in position?"

"Everything was perfect."

"We are ready."

"Then I wish you a great race,

fits, stays focused. "

If we draw from a great race.

(Reichelt): Before the race I really had no intention

that is so dangerous actually.

That does not, because since one is somehow a wimpy.

Links from behind ...

(Franz): At the start area you look halt,

that you can easily withdraw as much as possible,

If you then plunges you into the race,

this is a balancing act.

Since it is the right balance,

you to take the spot-on, as you make it to you.

(Quiet music)

(Helicopter noise)

I have to go to my limits,

to me and Natali to help out of this situation.

It is a real challenge, and there is the risk.

You feel every emotion, afraid, are called excited and extremely.

I let me on it to get the best out of me.

(Cheers)

(Franz): When the moment comes where you're making a little over,

then it is wisest, you schnallst off and go home.

(Suspenseful music)

Ready to go?

You have to attack, otherwise it may go down as evil.

You're better off when you're aggressive, attacking

and try to win.

Do not drive for the third or fifth place on security.

(Triumphant music)

(Cheers and screams)

(Franz): In Kitzbühel is already so much has happened,

that you have respect for it properly.

Once a moment passively back parts,

and you belong down there.

(Narrator): "Has two hundredths lost."

(Cheers)

(Franz): You have to always know exactly what you're doing,

that's because the most important thing.

Then you stand at the start and get right in such a tunnel.

The beep comes, you're doing the plugging over it,

then you fall down you.

(Chants from the starting gate)

(Narrator): "Max Franz, Austria!"

(Svindal): You build up for the moment,

where you look down on the most difficult part of all departures.

Where you have to believe you yourself:

I can. I'll risk everything

and try to win.

(Suspenseful music)

(Triumphant music)

(Svindal): The Streif is a track where it is most difficult

find out which risk is enough and when you're going too far.

(Narrator): "He who best Austrians coming!"

(Franz): The Streif knows no random winner.

It just takes years until you can master the track.

Racers will be at the top, which I want to achieve.

(exciting music)

(Svindal): You choose a line, it's about survival.

If you chose, you can change anything.

(Triumphant music)

The blows are so brutal,

that it is impossible to keep the head steady.

Then it becomes difficult to see anything

and to focus on the line.

(Cheers)

(Narrator): "Four hundredths of a second it apart."

"Aksel Lund Svindal,
der King of Downhill Racing!"

(Quiet music)

(Reichelt): Wind Chill had pain.

I'd like to say it hung on the plug half a minute,

that was the only position that did not hurt me.

I know down there is the mousetrap.

I thought, okay, now you go only so far,

until it hurts.

I thought, if I am the compression,

without it hurts me really really, it'll be all right.

Now there's just no turning back.

(Suspenseful music)

So, go on, Hannes.

(Slow music)

(Reichelt): The momentum that you master the top of the starting gate,

the you must never lose.

(Cheers)

(Suspenseful music)

A blow, and the impact may be quite stupid on the ski,

then you need not to think about the next yards,

because as you think then only: Hopefully it goes well from.

(Narrator): "Technically always pleasing to the eye."

"And at full speed."

"Yes, yes, yes, that was good!"

"Pull over at the outer ski."

"Gut, super!"

(Reichelt): Too much line, too round line

or even a drift, and you feel as a driver,

if you lose pace.

You just in the moment when you decide

this is now the closer line that down there at the network,

which is closely now.

That is, if you aufkommst, be a meter next to the power,

but ten centimeters.

That is courage and confidence in your skills at the same time.

(Speaker announcements)

(Triumphant music)

(Commentator): "And now pick up only!"

"Rein, rein! 119,5."

"Was hat Svindal?"

(Commentators talk at once.)

"Yes!" - "Austria is in the lead!"

(Cheers)

(Narrator): "Hannes Reichelt, Austria!"

(Reichelt) wanted in the moment when I take off my skis

and also have done, I thought to myself:

It hurts so bad.

You shall rejoice, everyone you cheers,

and you just so immense pain.

I thought, yes anyone show that it hurts you so,

because that is not what we do.

Our sport is absolutely beautiful

and not what have I felt at that moment.

(Quiet, suspenseful music)

(Slow piano music)

(Narrator): "First and thereby 74th Hahnenkamm race winner in 2014 ..."

"First, winner,
Kitzbühel-Champion 2014..."

"From Austria!" - "Representing Austria!"

"Hannes Reichelt!"

In Kitzbühel to win the downhill

and go out to 25,000 crazy fans

and hearing the words "Hahnenkamm Winner" ...

These words are simply the best.

Yes, it is frustrating that I have my knee hurt again.

At the same time, when I Daniel Albrecht me

or Hans Grugger keep in mind, I have to consider myself lucky,

to be escaped with a relatively small injury.

(Slow music)

Wacky Races.

Michi, you let congratulate.

Herbie.

But has not looked good, but still a 4: 0 victory.

Boys, cool thing, right?

Had we not believed. - No, has otherwise looks.

That we so loosely stand there now. - Nice.

I stick with it, run the 74th Hahnenkamm go down in history.

Of this we will tell our grandchildren.

For you it goes straight off again for next year.

That's no problem,

about next year there is also a.

(Reichelt): won Hahnenkammrennen and no more pain.

I thought that can not fit.

It has carved out the whole disc.

One has to operate as quickly as possible.

Ideally, you remain there today, we do it today.

What happens if I continue?

This is medically unthinkable

that you continue in the situation.

Because you put any pressure on the leg, so that's life-threatening.

This is not responsible. - Finish it were.

Done. - The season?

The season is finished.

(Slow, rocking music)

to sit in the sun after all, feels good.

Sometimes I want my problems in skiing simply forgotten.

It did not work the way I wanted, but I do not give up.

In the old corridor I tried to risk.

That was the reason why I made a big mistake there

and almost crashed. I was very lucky.

One has changed. Natali is no longer with me.

The Belarusian Association gave me a new coach.

We will see if that is good or bad.

But the Streif will never change.

Last year in Kitzbühel I was very frustrated after the race.

I think I was there the best and have done all the wrong mistakes.

I will not change much, return

and again aggressive skiing.

But it's one of the races that you'd win at all costs,

before you finish your career.

(Franz): in order to accommodate a rest,

the Glockner actually a really cool story.

You have a long march to the top and a lot of time to think.

When you sit up and look down on everything,

then you start to set new goals.

And Kitzbühel is a goal that I really want to achieve.

Here we go. - Here we go.

(Slow, rocking music)

It simply has to match everything.

One saying goes: If it is running, then running it.

And I have been waiting. I just wonder when the time comes.

(Reichelt): get the gondola,

where a Eberharter, a Maier has stood up,

a Knauss, somehow is as true a childhood dream.

And now I'm kind of in the legends as this.

That's a cool thing.

Hello, are you the Aksel Lund Svindal?

Yes, and who are you?

I am of Linus and would also like to once like you

the Streif shutdown.

I ride certainly again the strip, but then,

then I win.

(Linus): I am of Aksel Lund Svindal

and will also once the Streif win!

Hey, Didier! When we look back, that was a hell of a ride, huh?

Let's go down this hill Baby, Daron!

Four, three, two, one, go!
