Paris wins men’s World Cup downhill in France, Nyman 2nd (The Associated Press)

Five years after his first World Cup podium on the same course, Italian Dominik Paris mastered tricky conditions at the French Alpine resort of Chamonix to win a men’s World Cup downhill race ahead of American veteran Steven Nyman on Saturday. Paris finished second in Friday’s Alpine combined race and carried that form over into the downhill, flying through the fog and heavy snowfall on the soft and powdery La Verte des Houches course for a fifth career win and 13th podium. The Italian clocked 1 minute, 58.38 seconds to finish .35 clear of Nyman and .39 ahead of Swiss racer Beat Feuz, who secured his 20th podium.
