Nadia Fanchini claimed the first training run of World Cup finals in Bormio, Italy with an impressively fast clocking of 1:37.69 down the Stelvio downhill course being used fr the first time by the women of the circuit.
    Fanchini, known for her all-out approach, topped Frenchwoman Maria Marchand-Arvier to the finish by .73 of a second with Renate Goetschl third and Britt Janyk fourth. The Italian racer has developed a reputation for winning training runs after her mid-season return to the tour following a heart condition.
    Lindsey Vonn was seventh, Emily Brydon eighth, Kelly VanderBeek 15th and Julia Mancuso 18th among a reduced field of top racers. There were six disqualifications as the women tested the track ahead of their race Wednesday.
