Adelboden or Hindelang

Dear Sir, I did cit. the German Wikipedia (but very much of information I know by myself). I would like to point out that the German Wikipedia says that a Giant Slalom at Bad Hindelang was his first competing in the World Cup, but I think that such a difference in information is negligible.

In the 1976 Winter Olympics, he had a successfully comeback by winning the silver medal because results in the seasons before weren't according to desire, and for maybe twelve minutes (or a little more) it would seem that he could win the gold medal. No one of his opponents could close to him. Could Franz Klammer manage to do? He was the "runaway favourite" but (besides the phrase, that favourites aren't able to achieve in important challenges often), Klammer had a pressure to live up to expectations of the Austrian fans in a race in Austria - and because the treacherous piste became demaged (after 14 racers had raced down) was another handicap for him.

Defending a title in Olympic Alpine Skiing Races: Alberto Tomba in the Giant Slalom (1988 and 1992) was the first racer, another was Kjetil André Aamodt in the Super-G (2002 and 2006). In regard to female competitions there were two racers being able to defend their titles of 1994: Katja Seizinger in the Downhill and Deborah Compagnoni in the Giant Slalom. Another was Janica Kostelić by defending the Alpine Combined title (2002 and 2006). There were racers like Trude Beiser who could achieve a gold medal in the Alpine Combined in the 1948 Olympics and another gold medal in the Downhill in the 1952 Olympics. Vreni Schneider was able to win two gold medals in the Slalom (1988, 1994) but there were the 1992 Olympics between. Hubert Strolz was on a good way to defend his gold medal (Alpine Combined in the 1988 Olympics) but fell in the second leg of the slalom (maybe 50 metres before the finish line) in the 1992 Olympics. Many others did retire in the meantime (very often they did because having achieved the highlight in sports), others were disabled to start due to injury (Hermann Maier in 2002 - after the motor-cycle accident on August 24th, 2001, at Radstadt), and Marie-Theres Nadig - who was a member of the Swiss Team in the 1976 Olympics - but being ill in bed with a cold when the downhill race was held), or not being qualified (Franz Klammer had a poor performance before the 1980 Olympics, therefore the Austrian Ski Federation didn't nominate), or barred from because being a "professional" like Ingemar Stenmark and Hanni Wenzel (both double gold medal winners in the 1980 Olympics). Like Russi in 1976, Alberto Tomba (gold medalist in the Slalom Race in the 1988 Olympics) had to make do with a silver medal in the 1992 Olympics (behind Finn Christian Jagge). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skiscout (talk • contribs) 13:37, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
