Ladies back in action for Meribel DH training

By Published On: February 21st, 2013Comments Off on Ladies back in action for Meribel DH training

After two weeks of World Championships racing, the women’s World Cup tour resumes this week in Meribel, France with speed events scheduled for the weekend.

Tina Maze, who last week said her muscles were becoming tired and who didn’t get a week off like many of the speed-only athletes, did not show any signs of fatigue at the first of two training days Thursday. The Slovenian ripped the fast time of the day, 1:43:43.

Lotte Smiseth Sejersted and Carolina Ruiz Castillo rounded out the top three, while Stacey Cook was the top American in 15th position. Julia Mancuso was 22nd, Alice McKennis 26th, Laurenne Ross 37th and Leanne Smith 45th.
