American Steven Nyman won the second training run of the Lake Louise Winterstart on Thanksgiving Day, topping the winner of the first training run, Christoph Gruber of Austria, by more than half a second. The top three finishers of the first training run had been within two hundredths of a second.
   
Nyman posted a time of 1:49.88 over the course. Patrik Jaerbyn of Sweden, starting outside of the first seed in 35th place, was the third-place finisher. Austrians finished 2-4-5-6. Bode Miller, the fastest American of the first training run, finished 13th.
    The World Cup downhillers are scheduled to test the men’s Olympic downhill run one more time Friday before opening the downhill portion of the World Cup season Saturday.
    Austrian men have won four of the last five men’s World Cup downhills held at Lake Louise dating back to Hannes Trinkl’s win in December 1999. Miller won in Nov. 27, 2004, breaking up the Austrian streak.
