The icy Hahnenkamm descent also earned the utmost respect from ice hockey legend Mark Streit. The first Swiss NHL all-star was allowed to visit the “Streif” on Friday, accompanied by former race director Peter Obernauer.

«The first view from the starting house hit me so hard that I was happy to be offered a schnapps to calm down before starting this excursion. I swallowed it in Ex,” says the 46-year-old.

Calming schnapps in the Traverse

Afterwards, the Bernese, who won the Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2017, showed that he is also a very good skier – Streit mastered the steep slope and the local mountain without any problems.

In the Traverse, however, he longs for a soothing schnapps again. “This passage is really cruel. Although I was driving slowly, at this point I had to be extremely careful not to fly away. For me it is absolutely unthinkable that the racers shoot towards the finish like a cannonball at 140 km/h and with sore legs. Truly sensational!”
