New Downhill Documentary

[Swede]

Don’t know if any outlandish people can see this, but I’ll give it a shot. It aired yesterday. It’s called ”Defeat the Mountain - a film about downhill racing”, directly translated. It is 60 minute documentary about downhill racing and downhillers in general, and Åre and the prep. for the finals last year in particular. Beatiful work by Johan Candert. All narration in Swedish (sorry) but quite a lot of the dialogue in English. Ganong, Lindsey, Dressen, Svindal ... all in there.

Doesn't look that way. I'm in the United States and get the following message:

Programmet kan bara ses i Sverige

 

[Swede]

Ok, then I know. ”Program can only be viewed in Sweden”. Sorry for being a tease.

I’ll admit that it’s easier to get your fix over here if ski racing is your drug. But we don’t get ”champagne powder”. I’ll keep an eye out for postable versions or at least outtakes. It’s a fresh take on the subject. Really paints a picture of all the hassle ... Beatiful cinematography. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for great weather in two weeks.
