From The Hahnenkammnews
There were also a number of changes to the aesthetics to the course: The new start house facia gave the start of the race a striking new look. The racers gave this new look a big thumbs up! Precision Timing, on behalf of Rolex, had also brought new ideas to the race that were unique to Kitzbuehel, starting with their stroboscopic platform that allowed viewers to see exactly when the racers had broken the wand and started their run. The green LED lights flashed clearly for all to see.
Those watching on the Rolex screens in the finish area as well as at home were able to see the acceleration from the start as well as the speed that racers were going over the Mausefalle just after the start. All these pieces of information gave the viewers, as well as the coaches and racers, more of an insight into how the competitors were getting on when pitched against each other.
It was in the finish area that the clearest sign of the new technology being used: The Rolex Speedometer gave everyone interested the opportunity to see how fast the racers were going as they came into the finish area. Didier Defago won The Race on Hahnenkamm Saturday and he also took the fastest speed down the Zielschuss, coming in at over 142kmh! While the technology used by the ski companies to help the racers go ever faster improves, the technology being used by Precision Timing and their partners Seltec is constantly evolving as is the partnership between the Kitzbueheler Ski Club, Rolex and the service providers. Ted Savage from Precision Timing is forthright when he says that they “focus on being the best in the world.”
