Steiner wins downhill WHISTLER (CP) — Pint: sized Anton Steiner of Aus tria mastered a treacherous, icy Whistler Mountain course Saturday to win the final World Cup men's downhill ski race of the season. While it was a glorious day for the 27-year-old veteran, who flashed down the chall- enging course in two min utes, 9.78 seconds, it was a heart-breaking morning for Peter Mueller of Switzer- land. Mueller, who could have tied for the season long downhill title with a vic. tory, had a brilliant run going —' but fell when he lost his balance flying off a jump just 200 metres from the finish. A dejected Mueller, who was more than a second faster than Steiner, was con. soled in the finish area by Peter Wirnsberger of Aus tria, who had earlier clinched at least a tie for the downhill title. Wirnsberger finished well back Saturday Steiner, who won for the second time this season, was 11 one-hundredths of a sec ond ahead of Michael Mair of Italy. Leonard Stock of Aus- tria was third in 2:10.14 The top Canadian was World Cup rookie Brian Stemmle of Aurora, Ont., who was 14th in 2:12.04, one place ahead of Donald Ste. vens of Rossland in 2:12.23.

(CP) — The Kevin Martin rink from Edmonton isn't put out by the pressure they'll face when the world men's junior curling championship starts here today. Being in the limelight as host rink and defender of the title brought home by Bob Ursel of Winnipeg last year will be pressure enough. But this year there's added pressure. They'll be the first to test Canada’s chances of repeating its international coup of 1985. Canada swept all three major world curling titles — the junior men’s, the men’s and the women's. And he has quite an act to follow. Ursel beat Peter Grendelmeier of Switzerland last year by making an amaz: ing shot to tie the game in the 10th end and then stole one in the 11th for the victory. But if confidence is what it takes to win, Martin shouldn't have much trouble. “Confidence is what we have,” he says. However, it will take more than that and Martin knows it. Grendelmeier is back, hungry and determined not to relive last year’s heart breaker. The Dave Aitken rink from Scotland is also expected to be tough. The Swiss rink has been curling in Canada this year against juniors and against men. And they've done well. WINS 17 OF 20 Martin, too, has been facing men's rinks and has won 17 of 20 games — hence the confidence that borders on cockiness. Martin and his rink — third Rick Feeney, second Dan Petryk and lead Mike Berger had a so-so, 7-4 record in the Canadian championship last year and then went on to win the title. In the Canadian champion ship last year, Martin drop ped his first two games, be fore going on to beat Bert Seales of Prince Edward Is land 6-3. He curls West Germany in the first draw at 12:30 p.m. EST today and the United States at 6:30 p.m. In the third round Monday, he's against Italy. That draw, he suggests, will allow him to get out of the gate fast. The other rinks are from Norway, France and Sweden The championship, being held at Dartmouth Sports plex, ends next Saturday Court rejects Hunter’s appeal EDMONTON (CP) — Dave Hunter, a winger with Ed monton Oilers of the National Hockey League, was back in jail Friday after the Alberta Court of Appeal rejected two appeals — one by Hunter and the other by the Crown.

Hunter was sentenced to four months in jail. In February a judge re jected Hunter's appeal of the conviction but reduced the player's jail sentence to 28 days. The Crown appealed the reduced sentence, an ap peal that was also dismissed Friday by the appeal court panel. Hunter served eight days of the 28-day sentence in the Belmont correctional centre and then was released pend ing the outcome of the two appeals. Although his 28-day sen tence now stands, Hunter may not have to spend more than a few days in jail Existing law calls for the release of a prisoner for good behavior after he has served one-third or a of 10 GENEVA, SWITZER LAND (AP) — Four world titles will be defended by Eastern bloc skaters facing strong North American chal lengers at the world figure his second European title, is also among the skaters high lighting a competitive men's field.
