Riesch fastest in Val d'Isere downhill training
VAL D'ISERE, France ― Maria Riesch of Germany posted the best time in the first downhill training Wednesday ahead of the World Cup events scheduled in the French Alps this week.
Riesch dominated on the Oreiller-Killy course on Wednesday and finished in 1 minute, 53.86 seconds. She was 0.93 seconds ahead of her American rival Lindsey Vonn.
Marie Marchand-Arvier of France posted the third-best time in 1:55.34.
Britt Janyk was 25th to lead the Canadians.
Another downhill training is scheduled on Thursday before Friday's super-G, which is replacing the race canceled in St. Moritz last week because of bad weather.
A downhill and a super-combined will also be staged in the French resort over the weekend.
After eight events, Riesch leads the World Cup standings with 526 points ahead of Vonn (381) and Tanja Poutiainen of Finland (276). S-Magazine
