Mens Downhill skiing Kitzbuhel 23.01

[bottomlesspit]

The Cheltenham festival of the skiing season, and with 60,000 locals there, the Austrians have home advantage

There are 7 or 8 skiers in with a good shout of this, but
Manuel Osbourne-Paradis has finished on the podium in 2 of the last 3 downhills (he won in Val Gardena) and seems to have been overlooked as a threat

He can be backed at 6-1 for a place
He is officially ranked 3rd behind Cuche and Janka in the downhill this season, and has a fantastic start number 19, between Heel and Cuche tomorrow
He was slow in training, but reckons he can find 2 seconds on that time
His previous record here isn't good, but the course has been tamed this year after accidents

This is his best chance yet........
