Theaux fastest in training, Canada’s Guay fifth in Lake Louise World Cup
LAKE LOUISE, Alta. — Erik Guay expects what was a rough ride for skiers in Friday’s training run to be smoother for the season-opening World Cup downhill.
The 36-year-old from Mont-Tremblant, Que., was the fastest Canadian in the lone training run for Saturday’s downhill at Lake Louise, Alta.
Guay was fifth and nine-tenths of a second behind Frenchman Adrien Theaux, who posted the quickest time of the day in one minute 51.54 seconds.
The first two training runs were cancelled because rain and warm temperatures made course conditions too soft, putting the pressure on to get one in Friday.
