The 2024 Lauberhorn descent will go down in history as one of the best. Beautiful weather, an enthusiastic record crowd, perfect conditions from A to Z.
But also as a descent with great emotions, which showed us again how close victory and defeat are, how thin the line between success and crash can be. The athletes’ willingness to take risks has once again reached its absolute limit. Triggered by Kilde and Odermatt last winter, almost everyone who starts doesn’t give up an inch or a hundredth of a second. It is analyzed, copied and added here and there.
Just as we all break down Marco Odermatt’s perfect rides into a thousand puzzle pieces, we are also forced to analyze the mistakes and crashes. Kohler, Pinturault and Murisier all fell with too much reserve on jumps. Driving mistakes that should not happen to a downhiller. But if you stay crouched and press the edge of the jump for the rest of the change of direction to tickle out two and three hundredths, he will brutally throw you away.
Yes, it hurts when I see the injuries. Such as Aleksander Kilde in the finish S.
He was clearly in trouble, as the races on Thursday and Friday showed. And yesterday you could see it along the entire route. Nevertheless, he risked the narrowest line in the finish S. All or nothing!
Wengen and the Lauberhorn have shown what can be done best, but also where the limits lie. Respect is back in the minds of the gladiators. At the right time, before Kitzbühel!
