■Val Gardena: Walchhofer wins, Scottie Mac third
Michael Walchhofer excised his demons at Val Gardena by collecting his first win on the one downhill track that has eluded him. Walchhofer got his ninth World Cup DH win Saturday, Dec. 15, on Val Gardena's Saslong and can now add that to a list of conquered race courses that includes Kitzbuehel, Wengen, Val d'Isere, Garmisch, Bormio and, as of Nov. 30, Beaver Creek. Swiss veteran Didier Cuche made it two podiums in two days adding second in the downhill to the super G win from Friday while American Scott Macartney posted his second career podium in third. Macartney was the third different U.S. male to collect a downhill podium in three races this season, speaking well for the U.S. depth. It was a real, good, solid run, said Macartney, adding that it was Pretty much fast, and everything that Val Gardena has to offer. I've got to go to the podium now, Ciao. If it hadn't been Macartney on the podium, there was a pretty good chance it might have been a North American anyway. Canadian Erik Guay posted fourth and teammate Manuel Osborne-Paradis was sixth. Bode Miller was eighth giving the North Americans a strong four skier top 10 showing. - SkiRacing.com

Macartney Podiums in Val Gardena DH
Scott Macartney (Crystal Mountain, WA) stormed to the second podium of his career - his first in downhill as he finished third Saturday in a World Cup downhill. Austrian Michael Walchhofer won and Bode Miller (Bretton Woods, NH) was eighth. WCSN.com will Webcast coverage at 4 p.m. ET.
Walchhofer was timed in 1:56.70 with World Cup leader Didier Cuche of Switzerland, who won Friday's super G, second (1:56.88).Macartney finished in 1:57.26 while Miller's time was 1:57.85. T.J. Lanning (Park City, UT), starting 54th in the field of 60, was 31st, bumped out of the points, i.e., top 30 racers, by the next-to-last skier. Steven Nyman (Provo, UT), who won in Val Gardena last season, fell on the upper part of the course.
Macartney's top-3 was the second of the day by a U.S. skier, following less than an hour behind the second-place downhill result from Lindsey Vonn (Vail, CO) in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
"I didn't do anything amazing, just charged and had a mostly mistake-free run," Macartney said. "I skied clean at the top."
"I thought 'Uh oh'..."
Macartney felt he was having a strong run, but added, "It's always hard to tell how fast you're going. The run felt clean. I felt I was carrying good speed, but you never feel really fast. I got massive air off the Camels and I thought, 'Uh oh' - but I pulled it off."
Macartney paused and agreed with a reporter, "Yeah, never a bad time for a podium."
"This is awesome. 'Scotty Mac' has been paying his dues for a long time and this is a sweet payback for him," said Men's DH Head Coach Chris Brigham.
