Afdaling vrouwen Cortina

Austria's Renate Goetschl won the women's World Cup downhill to continue an unbroken winning streak in Cortina d'Ampezzo dating back to 2002.

The 31-year-old former overall World Cup champion has a total of 10 wins 12 other podium places in the Dolomites resort.

Goetschl sped down the Olympia delle Tofane piste in one minute 31.14 seconds, beating American Julia Mancuso into second place.

Mancuso, the on-form Olympic giant slalom champion who won Friday's rain-delayed super-G while Goetschl finished third, clocked a time of 1:31.31 with France's Marie Marchand-Arvier third in 1:31.74.

Marchand-Arvier, on the World Cup podium for the first time in her career, might have hoped for a stunning first victory after starting fifth and then watching the bigger names struggling on softening conditions.

Mancuso, the 28th starter, dashed the 21-year-old's hopes before Goetschl followed her rival down with an even faster time.

American Lindsey Kildow, starting 30th, fell but staged a short-lived recovery before tumbling again, losing her balance and flipping on to her back before ultimately skidding to a halt face down.
