Kildow Grabs Third Straight Podium Second in Lake Louise super G LAKE LOUISE, Alberta (Dec. 3) - Lindsey Kildow (Vail, CO) conquered wind, snow and tricky visibility at Lake Louise once again Sunday, collecting her third World Cup top-2 finish in 48 hours as she was second to Austrian great Renate Goetschl in the first women's super G of the young season.
Goetschl was timed in an unofficial 1:20.86 for the 39th win of her career with Kildow - who won the downhill Saturday after finishing second Friday in the opening DH - was timed in 1:21.73. Completing the podium was Canadian Kelly Vanderbeek (1:21.77). In overcast, 10-degree weather, Kirsten Clark (Raymond, ME) was 19th and two other U.S. skiers were in the 20s - Libby Ludlow (Bellevue, WA) tied for 27th with U.S. super G champion Stacey Cook (Mammoth Mountain, CA) 29th on the Olympic Downhill run.
"Yeah, there's a comfort zone for me," said Kildow, who has won a downhill at Lake Louise each of the last three seasons; Sunday's podium was her second World Cup SG top-3 in the Canadian Rockies. "I did the same thing as [Saturday when she won] and just let my skis run. I'm confident here and I just didn't hold back. "It was really flat light, and there was some pretty funky stuff with the wind and I lost some time on the top, but I think I skied well the rest of the way," Kildow said. "It was cloudy and snowing and lots of winds - pretty similar to Friday...and any time you're on the podium in conditions like this, it's good and you should be happy...and I am."
The women have a couple of days down time as International Ski Federation works on scheduling upcoming races in snow-starved Europe. Races at St. Moritz, Switzerland, scheduled for next week have been canceled but organizers are hopeful of hosting the downhill and super G set for Dec. 16-17 in Val d Isere, France, where the men's races - planned for next weekend - have been scrubbed because of poor snow.

USSA - Freestyle
Former World Cup champion Jeret "Speedy" Peterson (Boise, ID) and Ryan St. Onge (Steamboat Springs, CO) will compete in the opening World Cup aerials meets of the season Dec. 9-10 in China.
After a final preseason training camp at this ski resort outside Penticton, Head Coach Matt Christiansen and the two athletes leave this weekend for Jilin Beida Lake, China. Emily Cook (Belmont, MA), who was on the 2006 Olympic Team with Peterson and St. Onge, trained at Apex but will begin competing next month when the World Cup makes its traditional January swing through the United States and Canada, Christansen said. "We had an outstanding camp. We had six days of jumping and it was good, Weather was cold but conditions were awesome, and the site is superb," the coach said. National teams from Europe and North America were at Apex sharing in the facilities; the World Cup season originally was to have begun in Australia over Labor Day Weekend, but a lack of snow forced cancellation. "They got up to triples [three flips] and they're looking good. We're looking for some good results in China," Christiansen said. "We feel Emily can use some additional training, but she'll be rolling next month."
