THE first practice run for the men's World Cup downhill race at Beaver Creek, Colorado, was cancelled on Tuesday after skiers protested against the condition of the course. Led by American Bode Miller, the skiers complained that some sections on the Birds of Prey piste were unsafe and demanded it be fixed. The practice session was cancelled as stewards set about repairing the course ahead of the next scheduled training run. The race was due to take place on Friday. "Bode asked us for our opinion and we supported him," Austria head coach Mathias Berthold said. "I think it's a good thing that we received the back-up from other leading skiers in this matter."
