Peter Fill becomes 1st Italian to win men’s downhill title (The Associated Press)

Peter Fill became the first Italian to win the men’s downhill title, while Beat Feuz of Switzerland triumphed in the last race in the discipline at the World Cup finals on Wednesday. Fill started the race level on points with Aksel Lund Svindal, who has been sidelined with a knee injury since January, and four points above Dominik Paris, who was not at his best after crashing in training on Tuesday and injuring his thigh and knee. Paris, who won the past two downhills, attacked at the start but was clearly struggling and finished 19th on the tricky Corviglia course in falling snow.
