After shaking at the top of the Streif wall, the legendary Kitzbühel track, Cyprien Sarrazin did not deviate from tradition. That of knowing how to worthily celebrate an exploit as French skiing has rarely been able to experience. Opponents at the edge of the slopes, the Frenchman and the Swiss Marco Odermatt, leader of the Downhill World Cup, shared this moment to the great joy of the other skiers during the night from Saturday to Sunday.
This is also Kitzbühel. Entered into legend, the winner has all the rights here. Then, shirtless with a pint of beer in hand, Cyprien Sarrazin sang different refrains, including the Swiss anthem alongside Odermatt. Thanks to his new status as a downhill super star, he can move behind the bar to become the king of the evening. A privilege that must be earned and which is only offered to winners of the Streif.
Odermatt, who is now under threat from the Frenchman with three events remaining, does not hold it against him. Also shirtless, like most of the other skiers present at the party, he will also let the horses go for the greatest pleasure of all.
It’s pure madness for all these downhillers who braved the hell of Kitzbühel. Better still, they knew how to tame it. And even twice for Cyprien Sarrazin who has now become legal to a Jean-Claude Killy or Luc Alphand. Simply legendary.
As with every winner in Kitzbühel, Cyprien Sarrazin will have a cabin named after him. A rare and well-deserved privilege. In the meantime, the 29-year-old Gapençais can continue to have fun. This night is his for eternity.
