Aksel Lund Svindal fastest in downhill training run (The Associated Press)

After eight different winners of the historic Lauberhorn race in the past eight years, Aksel Lund Svindal is overdue to join the list. The dominant downhill racer of this men’s generation has 11 World Cup wins, two world championship titles and an Olympic silver medal in the marquee Alpine event. The 86-year-old Wengen race down the longest World Cup track course is quirkier, with the fastest and slowest sections on tour and a lot of straights.
