General information about the Popular and Applied Graphic Art print materials is available at: Downhill racer Franz Klammer soars over the slopes at speeds exceeding 70mph on his way to a gold medal in this premier Alpine event - Winter Olympics, Innsbruck, Austria '76.But it was Klammer himself who redefined the old sports cliche “in dramatic fashion” with a courageous run at Innsbruck. ABC Sports was known for its penchant for stunt announcing teams at the Olympics, and former pro footballer Gifford and alpine ski enthusiast Beattie firmly established the tradition of Olympic broadcast hype with one of the classic calls of the ’70s. In a “you’ll never see that again / what in the world were they thinking?” scene, the fans stand 4 deep at the fence, close enough to touch Klammer on his way down. Some 66,000 people lined the course to cheer their homeboy Klammer to victory. But another thing that strikes strongest in the video is the spectators. Klammer’s daring, go-for-broke effort - is he racing or crashing? - speaks for itself. Klammer drew the short stick as the final competitor of the day, with lengthening shadows and impossible conditions setting up an action-packed rally, indelibly captured by ABC Sports announcers Frank Gifford and Bob Beattie. The reigning Olympic champion, Russi’s time seemed unbeatable as the piste turned into a sheet of ice. TV captured all the danger and drama of men’s downhill skiing during an outrageous two minutes at the 1976 Winter Olympics.Īustrian favorite Franz Klammer had managed to win three world cup downhills prior to the Innsbruck games, but top rival Bernhard Russi of Switzerland mastered the 1.88 mile Olympic course. There’s almost no comparison in the evolution of sports entertainment than the worldwide television spectacle of the Olympic games. ![]()
