Some notes[edit]

Dear Sir, I would like to try to give some notes (with cit. of German Wikipedia and by knowing by myself):

In regard to the female part, there was a "codecison", when Annie Famose had an accident on January 30th, 1969, at the "non-stop-trainings" for the World Cup downhill race in St. Anton am Arlberg being hurt with achilles' tendon rupture. At that time she was in lead in the Overall World Cup with 101 points ahead to Gertrud Gabl with 90 points.

Regard to the "duel" Karl Schranz vs. Jean-Noël Augert, it is to say that the margin of Mr. Schranz would be more obvious if you would calculate the points in that scheme which is valid after 1990/91: Constructing theory, Schranz could capture points in 13 races and had 936 points, Augert could only do it in 7 races - he had 545 points.

Another odd thing happened on January 18th, when downhill race at Hahnenkamm was carried out. Again, Mr. Schranz was one of the participants. When he finished his race (clocked in 2:20.01 minutes) he was behind Swiss racer Jean-Daniel Dätwyler who was clocked in 2:19.41 minutes. Schranz believed to be second - and obviously all racers, Team Officials, media representatives and the spectators did believe. Only TV-viewers did see that the clock didn't stop when Mr. Schranz came behind the finish line. The clock stopped more than a second later (it was 2:18.80, which was discovered later). At that time there was no video-wall in the target area (and maybe, media representatives including TV-speakers had no monitors). The TV-viewers did telephonic claim. Something special was (but it is to say, that is such an accidental circumstance which was not known when it happened) that one of the employees of the Swiss Clocking Company (Longines) was Sepp Blatter - at that time aged 32 years and an unknown "contemporary". He did a mistake by handling. - After two hours, correction was done (cit. "Arbeiterzeitung Vienna" from January 19th, pages 1 and 12 - headline "Erst nach Stunden war Schranz Sieger" ("After hours, Schranz was the winner"). That mishap was not alone subjects in Austrian medias but also in other medias; indeed, big German newspaper Bild am Sonntag did inform about it. 213.225.0.117 (talk) 13:23, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, why don't you include these information in the article? Wikipages are very simple to edit ;) Cheers! --Tone 16:37, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
