Norway's Aleksander Aamodt Kilde overcame flu-like symptoms to defeat rival Marco Odermatt and claim his second straight World Cup victory in the downhill at Beaver Creek on Saturday.
Kilde attacked the Birds of Prey course and finished in one minute and 42.09 seconds, edging out Odermatt of Switzerland by 0.06 seconds. Canada's James Crawford was third.
Kilde, 30, also topped the podium at Lake Louise last weekend and now has eight World Cup titles to his name."I caught the flu in Lake Louise after a nice weekend. It hit me really hard. I skied in clothes to have no sweat and take down everything a notch. I felt way better yesterday and that was fantastic.Kilde is second in the overall cup standings, 60 points behindOdermatt, and will be back in action for the super-G on Sunday but must again contend with the Swiss.
Odermatt, who won the Super-G in Lake Louise last week and is favoured to do so again on Sunday, is still searching for his first World Cup win in downhill. "It is a little bit sad when it is just six-hundredths and you know where to find them but that is ski racing. I am really happy with my second place," said Odermatt, who had to contend with windier weather during his run.
"The conditions were very tough. I think it was not a super fair race today with the wind on top. For the first guys it was okay but the later are skiing well and they had no chance," he said.Reporting by Rory Carroll in Los Angeles; Editing by Ken Ferris
