Nyman 15th in Hahnenkamm

Steven Nyman (Sundance, Utah) finished 15th to lead four Americans into the top 30 in Saturday’s FIS Ski World Cup downhill in Kitzbuehel, Austria.

“I’m not too satisfied with my performance,” said Nyman, who is still not 100 percent following last season’s knee injury. “I skied some sections pretty well, and I was a little hesitant in some sections, but it’s coming along … every day it’s getting better with my confidence and my knee.”

Germany’s Thomas Dressen won his first career World Cup race, edging out Swiss Beat Fuez by 0.20 seconds for the victory. Austria’s Hannes Reichelt was third.

Tommy Biesemeyer (Keene, N.Y.) came out of the 46th start position to finish one place behind Nyman in 16th.  Wiley Maple (Aspen, Colo.) came out of the 45th start position to finish 22nd; and Bryce Bennett (Squaw Valley, Calif.) was 28th.

The weekend will culminate with slalom Sunday, where David Chodounsky (Crested Butte, Colo.) and Nolan Kasper (Warren, Vt.) will headline the roster for the Americans. Kasper led the way in his first World Cup slalom race in nearly three years, earning a top 20 result in Wengen, Switzerland last weekend.
