The men's downhill skiing at the 1964 Winter Olympics was held on January 30th at 12:00 on the Patscherkofel . The difference in altitude between the start and finish was 867 meters and was 3.120 kilometers long.
The Austrian Egon Zimmermann , who had already set the best time in “non-stop training”, was able to secure the Olympic victory ahead of Léo Lacroix from France. Wolfgang Bartels from the Federal Republic of Germany, who competed for the all-German team, secured the bronze medal.
A total of around 50,000 spectators came to the race. Billy Kidd was the first to start the race at 12:01 p.m. Jean-Claude Killy , who entered the race with car number 9, fell shortly after the start and was left behind. In addition, the French had to replace World Championship runner -up Émile Viollat in the run-up to the race, as his shoulder got caught on a goal post during training on January 27 and his collarbone was broken. Pierre Stamos competed for him .
The Olympic champion Zimmermann gained his lead in the upper part of the route when he was already 0.8 seconds ahead of Lacroix, but lost it almost entirely in the lower section, known as the "Velodrome". He had strapped on a completely new ski model, a metal ski with five grooves (previously tourist and racing models had one longitudinal groove, at most two). Germany impressed as a team, with Willy Bogner instead of Eberhard Riedel being appointed to the team. Dumeng Giovanoli from Switzerland was traded as a secret favorite, but fell short of expectations. In contrast, Guy Périllat (France), Billy Kidd (United States), Gerhard Nenning and Heinrich Messner (both Austria) achieved a result that was in line with their level. There was also a serious accident: Jeremy Bujakowski , a Pole from India , who hit a tree in the upper part of his head after falling and remained unconscious, had to be taken to the Innsbruck University Clinic, where a moderate concussion was diagnosed .
