    I remember seeing this live in '76. It was like watching a runaway freight train that you expected to crash but somehow made it safe to the bottom. Talk about giving it your best shot!

    I was 17 at the time and remember watching this live on TV. We had a small TV in the living room with rabbit ears for the antenna. My parents and brothers were all gathered around watching this remarkab;e run. It is by far the most fascinating and exciting race of downhill I have ever seen. This is the most exciting downhill race ever on film in my opinion.

    I was 15 years old when I watched that moment on ABC with JIM MCKAY and BOB BEATTIE calling the race - I was a young ski racer competing in Vermont and New Hampshire - it was so inspiring for a young kid to watch - all I wanted to do was be like Klammer and go to the Olympics one day !!!

    Me too Ari. Right after that I went out and bought a pair of DynaFit boots. Was then, and still is, the most exciting two minutes of television I've ever seen.
