Kildow faces demons
21:38 And with the top racers down the line, Kildow looks to be the porivsional winner, with Dorfmeister, the Austrian Michelle Dorfmeistern in second, and this thing isn't yet officially over, but we can pretty much close the books on her win, as it's going to be tough for any of the remaining racers to catch Kildow's time.

Recchia takes tumble
Italy's Lucia Recchia was airlifted off the course and taken to hospital after a high-speed crash midway through her run at the opening women's World Cup downhill race of the season on Friday.
Starting 18th, Recchia lost her line and smashed through a gate before careening off the Olympic course, ripping through two banks of safety netting and coming to a sudden stop.
The world championship super-G silver medallist lay motionless on the snow while medical staff and coaches came to her aid.
Recchia was conscious and seen talking as she was loaded on to a sled and flown off the course.
"Lucia Recchia of Italy was taken by helicopter off the mountain after a crash midway down the course. Recchia has a history of concussions, but only had a bloody nose and no major injuries, race officials said."
