BEAVER CREEK, Colorado (AP) – Bode Miller won his fourth World Cup ski race this season and Daron Rahlves was second Friday – the first 1-2 finish for the United States in the downhill.

“It’s about time,” Rahlves said. “It’s what we wanted – both of us on the podium.”

Miller finished in 1 minute, 39.76 seconds for the 16th win of his career. Rahlves was second in 1:39.92 and Michael Walchhofer of Austria was third in 1:40.15.

Kildow earns first World Cup ski win in downhill

LAKE LOUISE, Alberta -Lindsey Kildow of the United States won her first World Cup race Friday, taking the season’s first downhill in 1 minute, 23.44 seconds.

Carole Montillet-Carles of France was second in 1:23.63.

“I was a little bit stressed after the training because I didn’t feel so well,” Montillet-Carles said. “I was searching for the good line. Today, I wanted to be aggressive. I did not make the perfect run but I was very happy.”

American Libby Ludlow was taken from the hill by helicopter after a fall. She was taken to a hospital, but no information about her injury was immediately available.

High winds and snow forced the start of the race to be lowered to the men’s super-G start.
