Marchand-Arvier fastest in 2nd downhill training, Vonn in the back of the pack
The second of two downhill training days in Val D’Isere Franced wrapped up with several key racers clearly tapping the brakes heading into the weekend of racing.
France’s Marie Marchand-Arvier clocked the fastest time of the day, 1 minute, 51.45 seconds. Just one-hundredth back was Tina Weirather, who yesterday finished 18th, and Maria Hoefl-Riesch rounded out the top three.
Laurenne Ross was the top-finishing American with a time of 1:52.43, which places her 15th. Not too far back was Stacey Cook in 20th. Yesterday’s runner-up, Julia Mancuso, finished 30th. Along the same lines, Alice McKennis was 33rd. And Julia Ford, coming back from an ankle injury and making her first European World Cup start this season, finished 45th.
Meanwhile, Lindsey Vonn ran the slowest training run of the day; she was 6.78 seconds back of the pace set by Marchand-Arvier.
