BORMIO, Italy (AP) - Michael Walchhofer ended a 13-race winless streak by the Austrian men's team Thursday, winning a World Cup downhill by 0.01 seconds.
Walchhofer skied the 1.8-mile Stelvio course in 1 minute, 51.90 seconds for his first podium finish of the season.
Bode Miller, who won the downhill and super-G on the same course at the 2005 World Championships, failed to finish a downhill for the first time this season after skiing off course near the top of the run. The American appeared to lose his edge as he negotiated a turn, fell down and got right back up. He was not injured.
