After announcing his retirement last week in Kitzbühel, Austria, where he’s won the infamous Hahnenkamm downhill four times, Swiss World Cup skier Didier Cuche went out and did it again. In crowning stye, the 37-year-old finished the burly course first, in 1 minute 13.28 seconds, grabbing his fifth gold to break a four-win with Franz Klammer. “It’s amazing that this came true,” Cuche said. “I just announced two days ago that I am going to retire and I was fighting for that fifth victory and, finally, I made it. It’s a dream. I can’t believe it. Winning five times here is just incredible. I can’t find words to describe that.” Via NY Times.
