Squaw men not in top 10 in downhill

By USSA

ST. MORITZ, Switzerland – Jared Goldberg (Holladay, Utah) led the Americans at the makeup day for the Audi FIS Alpine World Ski Championships downhill, taking 20th.

Beat Feuz of Switzerland, who won the downhill and super G test events at St. Moritz during the 2015-16 season, secured the gold medal in front of the hometown crowd. Canadian Erik Guay continued his dominant week in St. Moritz to take silver and Max Franz of Austria took bronze.

The day started out with similar weather to Saturday’s postponed downhill—a thick layer of fog hovering in the middle of the course. But as the day went on, the cloud lifted, leaving brilliant sunshine sparkling on the World Championships track.

Due to the early weather, the downhill start was lowered, but that didn’t restrict the men from catching huge air off the jumps.

Behind Goldberg, Travis Ganong (Squaw Valley) was 25th, Bryce Bennett (Squaw Valley) 26th and Tommy Biesemeyer (Keene, N.Y.) 29th.
