Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark, Sten-mark, who was trailing America's Phil Mahre by a wide margin in World Cup competition before the Christmas break, has come charging back with consecutive consecu-tive victories in slalom and giant slamon races. Last Saturday, Stenmark made another entry for himself in the record books by defeating Mahre by 53 hundredths of a second in a giant slalom run in Morzine, France. The win was Stenmark's 63rd in World Cup competition, competi-tion, more than any other skier in history. He had been tied at 62 with retired Austrian superstar Anne Marie Moser-Proell. The win also marked, the end of a string of 11 straight losses for Stenmark going back to Feb. 14, 1981. "It's about time for me to win a race," smiled Stenmark Sten-mark in the finish area. "I was not very lucky in December but I always knew I was capable of winning, I have good motivation now and my goal is to win the World Championships at Schladming." Mahre said he had his problems with a second-run course which was very straight and almost too fast. "The second run was almost like a downhill in parts," Mahre said. "I almost fell twice and made three big mistakes. I was very lucky today, and I think I could have won with a little more luck." Brother Steve, racing for the . first time following orthoscopic surgery on both knees over the Christmas holdiays, finished in 22nd position. Other American placings included"Peter Fie,W in 36thi,Mike Brown in. 37th, Andy Chambers in 40m and Tris Cochrane in 43rd. Stenmark followed his win in Morzine by taking first place Tuesday in a World Cup slalom at Bad Wiesse, West Germany. Stenmark finished 37 hundredths of a second ahead of Franz Gruber of Austria while Phil Mahre was third, eight tenths of a second off the pace. Stenmark's wins in Morzine Mor-zine and Bad Wiesse cut Mahre's lead in the World Cup standings to 61 points. However, Mahre has the chance to make up some of that lost ground Jan. 16 when he competes in the downhill in Kitzbuhel, Austria. The results from that race will be combined with those from Bad Wiesse to determine the third "combined" winner of the season. Stenmark is well known for his dislike of downhill competition.

Meanwhile, the women's World Cup tour is still being dominated by two Euiopean skiers: Erika Hess of Switzerland Switz-erland and Irene Epple of West Germany. On Friday it was Epple's turn in the winner's circle as she captured her third giant slalom win of the season, taking first place at Pfron-ten, Pfron-ten, West Germany, only six miles from her home town. Hess was second and Irene's sister Maria was third. However, it was not a productive day for the American contingent. Cindy Nelson's 13th-place finish was the best by any American Ameri-can skier. Other finishers included Heidi Preuss in 27th, Holly Flanders in 44th, Maris Maricich in 52nd, Cindy Oak in 63rd and Park City's Roxanne Toly in 80th. Sun Valley's Christin Cooper, Coo-per, currently third jn the World Cup standings, went too straight into a gate near ' the top of the steep middle section of the course, hit a pole ana took herself out of the race. The current women's standings find Hess in first place with 193 points followed follow-ed by Epple with 164 and Cooper with 99. Young skiers fare well in Brighton er, Park City Classic It was supposed to be called the Brighton Classic. But then again, it was supposed to be held at Brighton. Because of an overabundance overa-bundance of snowflakes in Big Cottonwood Canyon early last week, the Brighton Overland citizen crosscountry cross-country race was rescheduled reschedul-ed for the Park City Municipal Munici-pal Golf Course. Held Saturday Satur-day in brilliant sunshine, the race attracted a large field of nordic competitors from novices to experts. One of the most pleasant surprises, as far as local observers were concerned, was the performance of the young members of the Park City Nordic Ski Team, coached by Al Bronston. In the Mill class, for men ages 19 to 29, two of the top three places went to members mem-bers of the team. Although technically they should have been skiing in the Mil class. "They all moved up so they could run the longer distance," Bronston explained. ex-plained. Finishing first in that class was 18-yearHld Will Dougherty, Dough-erty, who had never been on nordic skis until he joined the program a year ago. And third place went to Park City's David VanLuven, who is only 15. "This really shows an improvement for us over last Authentic (Orrmoit (Tuieinc open fa 1100 p.1it 402 Main St., Park City 649-5944 year," Bronston said. "We're pretty glad to see that." In the MI class for ages 13 and under), Michael Richards, Rich-ards, another team member, took the top spot, beating Jesse Glidden across the finish line. "They were side by side," Bronston remembered, "un-till "un-till Jesse fell down with about 10 yards to go." Two of Bronston's other charges, Abbey Peterson and Rachel Dreyfuss, tied for first place in the WI class and Marielle Lemal finished first in the WII class (she also finished last, since she was the only competitor in that category). Among other local competitors, com-petitors, White Pine nordic instructor Steve Erickson finished fourth in the Expert Men class, while , Bill Trae-ger Trae-ger took third place in the MIV class (ages 30 to 45). For more race results, please turn to the Scoreboard Score-board section. Heading up this week's nordic calendar is the Brighton Brigh-ton Overland, from Brighton to Park City, scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Saturday. Bronston said Tuesday that a decision had not yet been made whether to run down Thaynes Canyon to the golf course, or across Guardsman Guards-man Pass to the Ontario Mine. Tennis in January? 'Snojoke There's one in atoine skiing. There's one in nordic skiing. And there's one in swimming. So why not tennis? This may be midwinter in a ski resort town, but that hasn't stopped the Park City Racquet Club from scheduling schedul-ing classes for the junior development program. Under the guidance of club pro Al Johnson, the Racquet Club is holding six-week sessions for the youngsters who wants to do more with a tennis ball than throw it to his pet pooch. Johnson says the youngest kids now enrolled in the program are six years old, but he'll take them as young as five if they're willing to learn. On the other end of the spectrum are long-time students stu-dents of the sport such as Park City High School's Shawn Glieden, one of the top players on the tennis team. Johnson has divided the program into five categories: categor-ies: advanced boys, advanced advanc-ed girls, intermediate girls, 12-and-under boys, and pee-wees pee-wees (ages eight and under). Each group meets once a week for about two hours on the Racquet Club's indoor courts. "I emphasize most of the Australian teaching techniques techni-ques that I learned with Harry Hopman (of Davis Cup fame)," Johnson says. ' 'We do a lot of drills, with an emphasis on strong basics, geared toward tournament play." Johnson says he has about four students enrolled in each of the categories for the current six-week session which began Monday. He indicates there is room for about three more in each group. According to Johnson, the $60 fee also entitles students of the program to free court time on the weekends and a 10 percent discount on tiems offered in the pro shop. The program is open to both members and nonmembers. More information can be obtained by calling Johnson at 649-8080. |
