SWITZERLAND'S Beat Feuz took advantage of favorable weather conditions to win a World Cup downhill in Kvitfjell, Norway, yesterday ahead of favorites Erik Guay of Canada and Michael Walchhofer of Austria.
The 23-year-old Feuz took his maiden win after covering the Olympiabakken course in one minute 47.39 seconds. He finished 0.05 seconds ahead of world champion Guay and 0.11 seconds in front of Walchhofer. The leader in the discipline, Didier Cuche of Switzerland, finished fifth, 0.24 seconds adrift of his compatriot, after falling foul of worsening conditions with more wind and poorer visibility.
