Bode Miller positioned second after DH leg of Lauberhorn K
The Lauberhorn track firmed up from training for the downhill portion of the World Cup super combined at Wengen this morning with Bode Miller appearing in good position at half time, sitting second behind Swiss Beat Feuz with a slalom leg remaining.
Ted Ligety is 2.7 seconds off the pace and will be the only other American in the second run. Two Canadians crashed, Ryan Semple and Louis-Pierre Helie both appeared to be alright after falls.
Falling temperatures and no small amount of water contributed to the track condition improving, but it still developed rough sections.

About the Author: Hank McKee
In memoriam: The veteran of the staff, McKee started with Ski Racing in 1980. Over the seasons, he covered virtually every aspect of the sport, from the pro tours to junior racing, freestyle and World Cup alpine competition. He wrote the first national stories for many U.S. team stars, and was still around to report on their retirements. “Longevity has its rewards,” he said, “but it’s a slow process.”
