Didier Cuche ***WINNER*** Downhill Chamonix, 01/29/2011 (+Interviews)
Didier Cuche wins the World Cup downhill in Chamonix with a clear lead over the sensational runner-up Dominik Paris and Klaus Kröll.
The Swiss skier was once again in a league of his own, just a week after his victory in Kitzbühel!
Manuel Osborne-Paradis crashed after catching an edge in the compression and was airlifted to the hospital for examination. We wish him a speedy recovery! All the best!
