In the first of three Channel 4 shows on the World Cup Finals, all eyes will
be on American Bode Miller and Didier Cuche as they compete for the Downhill
title in the season’s final Men's Downhill race. Cuche currently leads Miller in
the Downhill by five points, and Miller is looking to become the first American
to win a World Cup Downhill Championship.
On the women’s side, American Lindsey Vonn has clinched the Downhill title,
but is looking to extend her lead in the Overall points standings. Vonn
currently leads German Maria Riesch by 157 points with four races remaining.
Didier Cuche has a sizeable lead in the Super-G points standings. Cuche
currently leads German Christoph Gruber by 89 points.
