Val Gardena downhill: Top favorite Svindal comes with the 18 start list

After the triumph in the Super G and the two convincing training runs, will Aksel Lund Svindal achieve his first victory in the World Cup downhill on the Saslong this year? When the Norwegian crosses the finish line on Saturday with start number 18, we will know more. The race, which starts at 12.15 p.m., has not yet been decided. At least Erik Guay (number 21) showed in training that he won't leave the field to Svindal without a fight.
