Innerhofer tops, Bode Miller 5th as Bormio downhill training opens

Dec. 27, 2010

BORMIO, Italy — Christof Innerhofer of Italy led the opening training session Monday for a World Cup downhill on the super-icy Stelvio course.

Innerhofer, whose only career win came in this race two years ago, timed 2 minutes, 1.64 seconds.

Austrian veteran Michael Walchhofer was second, 0.75 seconds behind, and another Austrian, Klaus Kroell, was third, 0.97 back.

Speed specialist Didier Cuche of Switzerland was fourth and Bode Miller, the American who has won three races in Bormio, was fifth.

Robbie Dixon. 21st, led the Canadians, with Manny Osborne-Paradis 42nd, Jan Hudec 43rd and Ben Thomsen 44th.

Another training session is scheduled for Tuesday, with the race Wednesday.

Overall World Cup leader Ted Ligety won't compete, as the American is more of a technical specialist and rarely races downhill.

The temperature at the start was minus-13 Celsius (9 Fahrenheit). S-Magazine
