A test, which could also be the only one, given that a heavy snowfall is expected on the second and final training on Thursday, which confirms how the men's downhill scheduled for Saturday at Beaver Creek (preceded by super-g on Friday) , show up on the very balanced paper.
Many protagonists, even quite different compared to the opening of the speed in Lake Louise, and best time in the first timed test for Ryan Cochran-Siegle; the 27-year-old American detaches 24 cents Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who on the "Birds of Prey" is able to get excited, but he also pushed to the end unlike many level opponents.

Behind him, the Norwegians Sejersted and Jansrud, then Steven Nyman and an excellent Peter Fill: the native of Castelrotto shows good things, closes at 1 "14 (though losing a lot in the final) in front of the other blue points, Emanuele Buzzi posted 1 "22 from Cochran-Siegle and Dominik Paris, to 1" 33 (just ahead of the great rival Beat Feuz) but slowing down a lot from the Golden Eagle forward. Of course, "Domme" does not like this track too much, but the partial ones in the central section are comforting from a race perspective.
Attention also to Johan Clarey, very fast until the last intermediate: everything could really happen ...
