BIG MOUNTAIN, Montana — Delayed from Tuesday due to weather conditions, Wednesday’s NorAm downhill proved to be a stellar one for the U.S. men. American B teamer Erik Fisher finished first with a time of 1 minute, 28.17 seconds. Canadian Gareth Sine took second at 1:28.29 and U.S. C teamer Andrew Weibrecht brought home third with a time of 1:28.31. Americans Justin Johnson and Jeremy Transue raced into fifth and sixth, respectively.
    In the downhill two days prior, Fisher finished in second with Sine in third and Weibrecht in fourth. Jeffery Frisch, the winner from Tuesday’s downhill, placed fourth in Wednesday’s event.
    This was Fisher’s eighth NorAm podium this season, including a win in the Panorama, British Columbia, NorAm super G.
    The women’s super G was canceled after several holds due to bad visibility. When the race was officially canceled, Leanne Smith was leading with Canadian Marie Gagnon in second and American Chelsea Marshall in third. The race will not be rescheduled.
