Mikaela Shiffrin just misses Lake Louise downhill podium

LAKE LOUISE, Alberta (AP) — Nicole Schmidhofer of Austria has won a World Cup downhill for the second straight day.

Schmidhofer was even faster Saturday than she was in Friday’s season opener with a time of 1 minute, 47.68 seconds.

Teammate Cornelia Hutter was second, 0.44 seconds behind. Michelle Gisin of Switzerland was third, 0.47 seconds back.

Double Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin finished fourth, .63 behind, in her least successful discipline. Shiffrin was ninth in Friday’s downhill and finished first and third in downhills at Lake Louise last season.

The women race a super-G on Sunday.
