Alpine skiing men's downhill competition
The alpine skiing project of the Beijing Winter Olympics has a total of 11 sub-events for men and women, super big slalom, big slalom, slalom, all-around, and mixed groups, of which downhill (alpine downhill) and super big slalom belong to racing events, and big slalom and slalom belong to competitive sports.
Downhill, also known as alpine downhill, the fastest speed of the men's alpine downhill event is close to about 140 kilometers per hour, the players are basically flying on the snow, and the race distance is the longest of all the individual events, there is no final in the competition, each player will race once, this time it is equal to the final. Because alpine downhill races are extremely challenging and heavily affected by natural conditions, the organizers will not allow the race until they can compete. On February 6, the competition was postponed to February 7 due to natural conditions such as high winds.
On February 7, the alpine skiing course was clear and breezy, and the conditions were very good. As the referee honked, the most exciting "flying in the snow" curtain of the alpine skiing field opened, and for a time all the masters raced down from the starting area of Xiaohaituo Mountain. Moreover, the camera placement in the departure area of the summit is very exquisite, and at the moment of departure, the lens can reflect the distant view surrounded by mountains, and the picture is magnificent and magnificent, fully showing the charm of "Snow Flying Swallow".
Austrian Krichmaier, the 2021 World Championships men's downhill and super slalom double champion, was the first to appear and finished in 1:43.45 and temporarily finished first, reaching a top speed of 135.98 km/h at the third speed point. The second German player, Schweigel, fell off the track with no race results, reaching a staggering speed of 136.46 kilometers per hour at the third speed point, and after being treated by the track doctor, Schweigel was pulled out of the race. American Bennett made his third appearance, but also made a mistake, finishing the match in 1:44.25. The fourth Italian to appear, Inelhofer, left the track shortly after his departure and gave up on further skating, with no results. Two of the top four players made it to the finish without a result. It can be seen that alpine skiing is worthy of being the "crown jewel" of the Winter Olympics.
Austria's famous Meier is indeed not bad, the whole slide can be described as a flowing water, the snow swim dragon spray out, each link is just right, the body control is very strong, the technical action is pure, it is textbook, and finally he surpassed his teammate Krich Meier in 1 minute 42 seconds 85 seconds to win the first position, and his fastest speed was as high as 138.06 kilometers per hour.
Norway's Kielder came out and the whole process was amazing, he finished in 1:43.20 to finish second. Soon, Canada's Crawford overtook Kielder in 1:42.92 to become the second player. However, at the moment of "lightning and thunder", Switzerland's Fivuz surpassed Austria's Meier in 1 minute 42.69 seconds to temporarily rank first, Fiauz's fastest speed was 136.20 kilometers per hour, but the average speed was well controlled, thus surpassing Meier.
Competitors compete with each other, constantly surpassing each other, the competition is white-hot, alpine skiing has become a "white F1" track, but the players are not racing cars under their feet, but a pair of skis. France's Claret overtook Austrian Meier in 1:42.79 to occupy second place, with Austrian Masias. Meier fell to third place, and the first place was still Switzerland's Fivudz, who eventually won the championship.
