Mueller wins race

CANMORE, ALTA.

(cP) —

Peter Meuller of

Switzerland, molding his skis to the rolling Mount Allan
course like a piece of silly putty, won the final men's World
Cup downhill race of the season Saturday, beating his
nearest rival by nearly two seconds.

“This was one of my best races, I made no mistakes,”
the jubiliant veteran said of his 15th World Cup downhill
victory. “I had one of the best lines today and I knew I was

fast.”

"Mueller finished in, minute-44.82 seconds. Teammates
Franz Heinzer finished second in 1:46.15 and Daniel Mahrer

third in 1:46.18.

Marc Girardelli of Luzembourg had the second fastest
time posted but he was disqualified for missing a gate.
Roy Boyd of Whistler, finished fifth in 1:46.83, the only

Canadian in the top 10.

There was no word over the Canadian Press wire of
Castlegar skier Felix Beleyzk’s results. Belezyk won two
training runs!Thursday and Friday.

Belezyk became the oldest and most experienced skier
on the Canadian team with the retirement last month of

Todd Brooker.

The race was run under nearly ideal conditiuns. The
course was hard and icy, the sky sunny and the
temperature a comfortable -2. Chief of race Reto Barrington
said the course was in “perfect” condition.

‘The race was the first major test of the men’s Olympic
course, a 2,963-metre run with an official short verticial drop
of 786 metres. Barrington said the vertical is actually 802

metres, meeting the Olympic

located about 80 kilometres

west of Calgary, host city for the 1988 Winter Olympic

Games.

Pirmin Zurbriggen of Switzerland, winner of five
downhills this season and the overall World Cup champion,
struggled with the upper section of the course. He had to
fight to maintain control through two technically difficult
turns on the icy course. He finished out of the top 10.

Mueller had no problems anywhere. He ran a nearly
perfect line from top to bottom, giving him plenty of room to
slide through the turns while maintaining plenty of speed.

He was fourth through the technical section but once he
hit the middle flats he glided into-top spot and kept that
placing through the finish line.

“He's so good on his skis,” Boyd said of Mueller. “He
forms himself to the hill like silly putty.”

Boyd found the top part of the course too slippery. He
was 11th through the section but made top 10 finish of the

season.

“I was slipping pretty badly up there, it was so slick.
Look at the interval times. If I had been 2-10th of a second
faster on the top I wotild have been second.”

The men will race the super giant slalom today.

Graham second at Vail

VAIL, Colo. (AP) — Austrian Sigrid Wold won a
women's World Cup downhill for the second straight day
Saturday, with Laurie Graham of Inglewod, Ont., finishing
second, to hand the season downhill ski title to Switzerland's
Michela Figini.

Wolf, whose victory here Friday marked the first for an
Austrian skier all season and the first for her in six years on
the World Cup circuit, again came out of the 16th start
position to knock out the previous leader wearing bib No. 1.

On Friday, Wolf eclipsed the time of American Pam
Fletcher. On Saturday, she ran more than a full second
faster than Canadian Laurie Graham.

Wolf was clocked in one minute 52.30 seconds. Graham
had a time of 1:53.47, and Switzerland's Maria Walliser was
third in 1:53.66.

Wolf's performance wrested the downhill crown from
Walliser and gave it to Figini.

Figini had finished far back with a slow run she
attributed to the wrong skis, and Walliser's second-place
standing behind Graham through the first 15 skiers would
have given her a second consecutive downhill title.

When she was knocked to third place by Wolf, she lost
the points to catch Figini in the standings.

for Walliser, finished the year with 93 points, and Walliser
had 90.

“] have Sigrid to thank for the title,” said Figini, who
was downhill champion in 1985. “I skied well today, but I had
incredibly slow skis.”

Figini finished nearly four seconds slower than Wolf.

“When I saw my finish time I thought it was not
possible for me to win the title,” she said. “But then I saw
Sigrid and I realized she was fast enough to win.”

Wolf said she took “the same line” and felt “just as fast
as yesterday.”

“The weather was the same and I used the same skis,”
she said.

“Winning yesterday

Regine Moesenlechner of West Germany placed fourth
in 1:53.88, and Austrian Elisabeth Kirchler was fifth in
1:53.91.

Krahn was runner-up in 1982
