it is the moment I have been waiting months for. Armin Assinger's "köstliche" commentary to the Olympic men's downhill in which the gold was snatched at the last moment by the French Deneriaz has finally made it to youtube where the whole world can see it. During the Olympics, the clip was only viewable in Europe, so I coudln't share it with family.
One doesn't normally see the sports reporters, but they showed this clip on the Harold Schmidt late night show and it became something of an instant classic. Even if one doesn't understand what's being said, there is nothing like seeing him covering his eyes as it becomes apparant that the Austrians won't be getting the gold. Assinger is a former skier himself, and he brings more dialect and color to the broadcast.
I can't get enough of Assinger's less professional :) approach to commentary and we always watch skiing on ORF instead of ARD.
One more time because it feels so good -
" Der Deneriaz foat wia a gsengte Sau ! "
