Alpine skiers had the opportunity to take three training runs over three days in men’s downhill, the sport’s fastest discipline.
2014 Olympic bronze medalist Kjetil Jansrud proved that he is a favorite to claim another downhill medal. The Norwegian skier finished top-three in all three days of training. No other skier finished top-three more than once.
