 BORMIO, Italy (AP) - Austria's Michael Walchhofer won a World Cup downhill race for the second consecutive day on Friday.
A day after snapping a 13-race winless streak for the Austrian men's team, Walchhofer skied down the 1.8-mile Stelvio course in 1 minute, 51.82 seconds to become the first skier to win back-to-back downhills in Bormio. No other skier had ever won two straight races there, even from one year to the next.
Bode Miller, who failed to finish a downhill for the first time this season on Thursday, took fourth.
