If you ever talk to someone connected in some way to British skiing about Dave Ryding two things will happen. First, a warm smile will come to their face, a testament to the type of individual he is. The second occurrence will be an almost grimace of sorts.
Dave Ryding became the first Briton to win a race on the Alpine skiing World Cup when he stunningly captured the classic Kitzbuhel slalom. Ryding was sixth after the first run but put down a stellar second run in heavy snowfall to beat Lucas Braathen of Norway by 0.38 seconds. Ad/> The victory comes less than two weeks before the start of the Beijing Olympics, where Ryding will now suddenly be viewed as one of the medal contenders in the slalom.
Chaos ensued in the women's 4x6km biathlon relay before Norway emerged the victors in Anholtz. The lead changed hands several times in a dramatic relay with Russia and France completing the podium. Ad/> In the men's mass start, Benedikt Doll's fine shooting performance earnt him victory in the final stages in Italy.
Sofia Goggia survived a scare in tricky conditions to claim her fourth downhill victory in five races this season and cement her status as favourite for Olympic gold. The Italian, who will be one of her country's flag-bearers in Beijing, was pushed wide by the wind early on in front of her home fans in Cortina d'Ampezzo and almost missed a gate further down the run but recovered on both occasions to cross in 1:06.98s.

Ad/> That put her two-tenths of a second clear of her nearest challenger, Austria's Ramona Siebenhofer, who climbed above Breezy Johnson into second in the overall World Cup downhill standings following the American's withdrawal due to a crash in training.
MELBOURNE : Alize Cornet celebrated her 32nd birthday by staging a stunning comeback to reach the second week at the Australian Open on Saturday - 13 years after the Frenchwoman last made the fourth round at the Melbourne Park major.
Anton Babikov secured his second-ever World Cup victory as he came out on top in the individual in Antholz-Anterselva on a day when a lot of the favourites struggled on the range. The Russian, whose only previous win came in 2016 in Oestersund, was the only athlete to shoot clear and finished 9.7 seconds clear of Tarjei Boe, who had the consolation of taking the individual crystal globe thanks to his second runner-up finish in as many individual races, with two misses on the final shoot proving costly.
Daniil Medvedev took aim at sections of the raucous Australian Open crowd following his entertaining victory over home hero Nick Kyrgios on Thursday, saying: "They probably have a low IQ."
