Interesting men's downhill so far. Jan Hudec with a decent run, but he's already been passed by Janka. Racers really flying on this course.by Andrew Bucholtz via twitter 2/9/2014 7:27:50 AM -

Was thinking Thomsen may have been this year's Jon Montgomery. Still, a nice run.by tsnmikehogan via twitter 2/9/2014 7:30:29 AM -
Ben Thomsen finally completes his first Olympic run that actually counts, after he was a forerunner for Vancouver 2010 -

Go Canadian Cowboys!by NSJen via twitter 2/9/2014 7:32:36 AM -
The course is very icy. It's a little dark in the mountains, but there have still been some fast times comparable to the best in training.
-
I love all the sounds you get to hear on-course in the TV coverage. @Callum, it definitely sounds icy!
-
2:06.09 was the fastest on this track in training, from American Bode Miller

Solid run for Mr. Hudec!! Lets see how it holds up! Can't wait to watch him again in Super G on the 16th #Sochi2014 #CanadianCowboysby MarkSweetnSauer via twitter 2/9/2014 7:34:23 AM -

But that's a different day, different conditions. I spoke with the Canadians this week about that:
Contrasting Cowboys: The differences between Canada's medal-chasing alpine men
Official Canadian Olympic Team Website | Team Canada | 2014 Winter OlympicsIf cowboys in the wild west come in all varieties, then maybe it makes sense the Canadian ski racing buckaroos are all so different. A silver medallist at 2013’s test event in Sochi, Ben Thomsen is... -
Cheering on the Canadian Cowboys from Munich as they race the Olympic DH. Go @pandaHAUSofROCK @erikguay @manny_ski & Benny T @CDNOlympicTeamby kelseyserwa via twitter 2/9/2014 7:36:16 AM -
up to erik guay and manuel to medal now that we're in 4th and 5th place! #Sochi2014 #alpine @CDNOlympicTeamby slinky8 via twitter 2/9/2014 7:36:40 AM -
Downhill is a sport where some athletes will go for it only on race day, some will be consistent with training and racing. Erik Guay is the latter. He was 7th on the first training day, so he'll need to find a few more seconds to win a medal.

'downhill' is now trending in #Calgary trendsmap.com/ca/calgaryby TrendsCalgary via twitter 2/9/2014 7:37:31 AM -
Skiers are beating up the Sochi downhill course. Three of the first nine between 2:06.33 and 2:06.71. That looked medal-worthy yesterday.by Charles Robinson via twitter 2/9/2014 7:38:42 AM -

And yes @Mark it's icy and a racers track at the top, but it seems the bottom section is speeding up, the conditions are changing rapidly.

2:30am and sleep is nowhere to be found. At least @CBCOlympics is on so I don't have to watch bad infomercials #mensdownhill #WeAreWinterby sammyb13 via twitter 2/9/2014 7:46:08 AM -
@Crackmacs bode miller and Erik guay up soon.by b_thrasher via twitter 2/9/2014 7:46:25 AM -
The skiers are just exhausted at the end of this track. Anything over 2 mins is a long course.

Miller finishes with a time of 2:06:75 and sits in sixth place. Mayer still in first
