SPOILER TAG IS ON!
4 in a row… I mean the spoiler is hardly even worth bothering with. It's becoming a foregone conclusion.
Who has done 4 in a row in world cup past? Gwin in 2012… Vouilloz did 3 cups and then a champs. Rachel and ACC have done even more in a row in the past, I think Rachel having a perfect season. It's hard to check some of the older results pre-2000. (But to do so in 2025 is insane…)
Also, he has won qualifying the past 2 events. And in simulated runs (basically the best splits of the weekend for each rider) he ends up being fastest even when you calculate a perfect run for his fastest splits.
We are seeing 'Prime-Gwin' levels of excellence right now. We're gonna start running out of seasons and riders to compare to if things continue like this.
As well as Gracey keeping her speed week to week and keeping the Canadian DH reputation strong in both categories.
Also Amaury Pierron making finals (after 2 qualy runs) a little over a week after surgery to plate his collarbone. WTF
It's a shame the broadcasting isn't at its greatest right now. This is DH history…

Where can I watch? I can only see highlights on Instagram.
>It’s hard to check some of the older results pre-2000.
rootsandrain goes back to the early 90’s.
sam hill had 3 cups and a champs in ’07 then the first race of ’08 so while not the same season, still 5 consecutive elite race wins.
either way, yes the kid is amazing and so fun to watch.
yup. this kid is a force of nature.
Already in the running for goat at 21.
Did Gwin win that many in a season?
I’ve been watching more DH lately. Is there always someone with a chainsaw in the crowds? What’s that about.
The more stunning thing is how effortlessly he does it, and on a huge variety of tracks.
