February 12th, 2006 - Gold-medal[edit]

It was a little surprising when Antoine won on the slopes of Sestriere. He was injured for a long time and he started with a ruptured medial collateral ligament. Antoine was the last racer of the so-called "group of top-racers" wearing bib-no 30. It looked that no 30 was not a good number in that race because Walchhofer (no 10) was in front, clocked 1:49.52; with 0.30 of a second, Kernen (no 14) was behind of him. No one of all the following racers could draw near. Daron Rahlves (no 20) was clocked in 1:50.33 (at last 10th place), Marco Büchel (no 28) in 1:50.04 (7th). But Antoine wrote a new computation of time; clocked in 1:48.80 he was 0.72 faster than Walchhofer (such a large margin wasn't achieved in male Olympic Downhill Races in many years before). - After the race, Walchhofer said (like that): "I did make a great mistake but without that mistake I had been still second, maybe only 0.20 of a second behind Antoine". 213.225.35.23 (talk) 14:19, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
