The Austrians set the tone in Lake Louise

In the first downhill training for the speed weekend in Lake Louise, Christine Scheyer from Austria set the fastest time - even though she only went onto the slopes with start number 29. Frenchwoman Romane Miradoli (number 31) surprisingly landed in second place, before two other Austrians, Tamara Tippler (number 27) and Ramona Siebenhofer (number 10), took third and fourth place.

The favorites took things slowly in the first training session. Downhill world champion Ilka Stuhec from Slovenia finished tenth after a year out due to injury, while Lara Gut-Behrami ended up in 17th place. Ski queen Lindsey Vonn is missing from Lake Louise due to injury, as is downhill Olympic champion Sofia Goggia.

The best of the “Azzurre” was Nadia Fanchini with 14th place. Nicol Delago (Wolkenstein) and Anna Hofer (Steinhaus) took 34th and 43rd place respectively. Federica Brignone came 52nd after her win at the weekend.

Serious fall overshadows training As was the case with the men six days ago, the opening training session was overshadowed by a serious fall. In difficult conditions, a forerunner had to be transported away by helicopter, which delayed the start of training by around 40 minutes.

There are two more training runs on the program in Lake Louise on Wednesday and Thursday. The two downhill races will take place on Friday and Saturday. The “Speed Week” ends on Sunday with a Super-G. 1. Downhill training in Lake Louise Pos Name Country Time 1. Christine Scheyer TUE 1.50,61 Minutes 2. Ramone Miradoli FRA +0,21 seconds 3.
