Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Bode interviewed - who will take the first World Cup downhill this weekend?
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Read the Bode interview, from Neil McQuoid's chat with the world's n°1 racer at Soelden.

Quote:
Miller is never far away from controversy with not only his skiing style but also his thoughts and ideas making ski racing far from being a dull and conservative sport (at the top end!) In typical forthright manner Miller explained his thoughts: “Sports by nature are not equal playing fields, nothing is equal: There is better equipment, better coaching methods, and better coaches, there are all kind of things that are not equal. One guy wins and another guy loses. If you want to make it equal, make everything legal,” was how he summed up his feelings.

World Cup speed events get under way this weekend in the Canadian resort of Lake Louise. A shortage of snow has meant that the course has been shortened by some 300m, but the first practice session nonetheless took place yesterday, with a mix of surprising and expected performances.

A surprising return to form by Frenchman Antoine Deneriaz who had the best time of the day by some 49/100ths of a second, having been out of action following an ACL injury for the bulk of last season. Typically solid performances by last year's World Cup Downhill champion Walchhofer who had the second best time, and by Bode Miller in seventh, despite a very laid back start and cruising the last section.

Not so good for our own Finlay Mickel who finished outside the top 30. Despite the 7th and 5th best final interval times he was way off the pace in the first half of the race and ended up in 34th.

Full details of the first session here, next practice today...
