Cuche is it!

Don't be surprised if I'm a fan of Didier Cuche; I like the man, I admire the skier. Today, on the legendary Streif in Kitzbühel, he showed who was the the finest and most powerful skier on the world's most difficult course. If you watched the race - if you didn't, you really should - you could see that my ski hero was in control all the way down. The last time I skied down the Streif was in 1975 just after the downhill race; that day, I was carrying two pairs of skis on my shoulders and I wasn't enjoying it one bit! This ski run is a scary son-of-a-gun that separates the men from the boys. What else can I say? Bravo, Didier!
