(CP) — When the members of the Canadian women's Alpine team race the Olympic downhill on Thursday, it won't just be for gold medals but to salvage some national pride. When the Canadian men fared poorly in their downhill on Monday, the door was opened for the women to move into the spotlight and upstage the more high-profile men’s team right at home. Rob Boyd of Whistler, B.C., had been considered a gold medal possibility in the downhill but none of the men came close. “The women's team definitely has a chance to show them up and try to bring something out of the Alpine events,” Karen Percy of Banff, Alta., said after another strong day of training Tuesday. “We'll definitely try and it looks really possible. I think for sure one of us is going to be in the medals.” The Canadian women had six top-10 placings in Tuesday's two training runs, including Laurie Graham's first-place result in the first run, and appeared set to take a strong run at the Olympic gold medal that has eluded Canadian skiers since -1976. Graham of Inglewood, Ont., had the best time in the morning run of one minute, 28.62 seconds, followed by Marina Kieh! of West Germany in 1:28.82 and Percy in 1:28.95. “I think this indicates I'm on the right track,” said a happy Graham. Canadian women ski team upstaging men In the afternoon session, run on the shorter, combined downhill course, Michela Figini of Switzerland, one of the pre-race favorites, had the best time of 1:17.43, Sigrid Wolf of Austria was second in 1:17.92 and Kerrin Lee of Rossland, B.C., third in 1:17.98. The Canadian women were cautious comments about the men’s results. “The men's team has been doing as well as the women’s and if we win here I think it’s a credit to both the men and the women,” said Lee. Kellie Casey of Collingwood, Ont., said the women will do their best regardless of what the men do but agreed a good showing Thursday would certainly vault the women's team to the forefront. ! The Canadian men said after their mediocre showing that perhaps the home-country Olympic; pressure did them in. The women are adamant the same thing won't happen to them, partly because they've had the ad- vantage of race-day conditions throughout training. “The crowd bit is in the only thing that gets me most uptight,” said Percy, who lives about 30 minutes from the Mount Allan course. in their “Knowing that everybody's here and watching. To have had so many people here every day for training, well, it’s like I'm used to it already and there can't be more excitement . . . every day is like a dry run.” Pee Wees split two Mid-Week Wrap-up OLYMPICS \edol_ stondings Olympics alter seven By BETTY HARSHENIN The Castlegar PeeWee Reps faced off against a triple A Penticton team on home ice during the weekend and came out on top with a 7-4 win in the first game, but lost 7-2 in the second game.
