 BEAVER CREEK, Colo. (AP) - Taking advantage of a course shortened at the top because of a mix of wind, fog and snow, Daron Rahlves posted the fastest time at the World Cup downhill Friday, then watched Bode Miller come up just short, giving the United States a 1-2 finish on the Birds of Prey course for the second straight year.
Getting ready to settle into the starting gate, Rahlves heard a voice he knows well. It was teammate and chief on-slope tormentor Miller, yapping about how he planned to "rip this hill apart."
Not that Rahlves needed much more motivation, but he said hearing those words did the trick.
