Austria’s Hannes Reichelt tops downhill training (The Associated Press)
GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany (AP) — Hannes Reichelt of Austria posted the fastest time in training for a men’s World Cup downhill, five days after a heavy crash in another race. Reichelt was taken by helicopter to a hospital after crashing in the Streif race in Kitzbuehel, but escaped with a bruised bone in his left knee. World Cup officials reacted to the injuries by using more colors and lines to mark the Kandahar course in Garmisch, but many racers said they hardly noticed the difference.
