I almost posted a link, then thought: "We don't need too go down this rat hole, again. "
We're all entitled to our own opinions. The author has his, and his own process for forming them.
And whenever the rest of us throw out names for a top 10 list our biases all come out, and some of the names put forth are pretty laughable to many others. Some of it is our nationalism. I know a few people on his list, and I would not have them where he has them.
Yes, there are some who think that you need to have skied every event to be on such a list. That ship has sailed, I'm afraid. You are pretty much NEVER going to see anybody with a concurrent SL and DH career. In fact on the men's side, there are more SL and GS specialists than ever. Hirscher is clearly the class of this current crop, and I doubt if we'll ever see him in a DH....and if for some reason we do, he won't be anywhere near a podium.
If you want to win in one or two events there simply is not enough time and insurmountable logistics to train in the others. And you are going to just destroy your body. The sport is not much like it was 15 years ago in that respect.
On most of these lists, longevity and staying power seem to count. Maybe too much. For example, I don't know how Killy does not make every list. Maybe that's my bias.
Bottom line is that it's real hard to get down to 10!
No offense, somebody has to submit the content for sr.com, but I would hardly look him as some definitive authority on this. His list is, to my thinking a bit unique. Hirscher does not make his top 10? Actually all debatable, HaHa.
Everybody remembers where they were when Klammer won in 1976. Was it great skiing? It was great drama, and that was the poster child for "sending it."
