Icon   World Cup Ski Racing - Kitzbuhel-Wengen Downhill Double


Photo

Here's a list of the men who've won both the classic Kitzbuhel and Wengen downhills in the same season. Only three skiers have achieved this feat more than once, Austrian trio Toni Sailer (twice), Karl Schranz (twice) and Franz Klammer (three times). Sailer did it two years in a row in 1956 and 1957, whilst Klammer, incredibly, won both races three years in a row between 1975 and 1977, a feat that we think will be a long time, if ever, before it's ever repeated.
