Not surprised, he seems to have lost a bit this season but no shame in that. Certainly, one of the greats in terms of results and style. I'll miss him.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Better to plan for retirement, than have it forced on you.
Good luck to him, and hope we see the ski flip again soon!

Not sure he's lost much. He's been 1st and 2nd in training on the Streif this week and so looks like he's coming back to form.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

He is a legend. If he wins the Downhill this year at Kitz it will be his 5th. No man has ever won it 5 times.
TJ had breakfast with him one morning in the athletes restaurant. Just a great guy too.
Good luck to him> I'm hoping to see his skis flip tomorrow if the weather gods are kind.

Agree Plugboy, he is a legend already. Style, power, technique... he has it all.
Maybe he's going to join the FWT. That would be cool. If only...

Daughter met him at LL this year and got a helmet signature (next to TJ's )
He was way smaller than I expected. I expected this huge guy.

Not particularly surprised - having watched the previous weekend's DH in Wengen. When he'd completed his run, he very definitely seemed to be having a nostalgic look around at the crowd, the finish area and the run into the finish. At the time, I thought he was taking it all in and saying farewell.
As gryphea suggests. He always looked like a giant on the mountain, and smaller in real life than one expects. Good luck to him for the rest of the season - hope he manages to go out at the very top.
