Youngest female World Cup downhill race winner[edit]

Sylvia Eder became the youngest winner of a female Downhill Race: It happened in her home province Salzburg, in Bad Gastein: A day before, she finished 3rd, and on January 19th she could win. In the rankings of all female youngest winners she is placed fourth behind Christa Zechmeister, Pamela Behr and Betsy Clifford.

Other notes, all given cit. German Wikipedia: Boris Strel, winning the Giant Slalom on December 15th at Cortina d'Ampezzo, was the first Yugoslavian winner. Because male downhill race at Lauberhorn on January 23th was cancelled after 13 racers, on January 24th, there was carried out as well the downhill race as the slalom. Another day with two races, now regarding to females, was the March 21st: It was a little different, because the giant slalom on March 20th was stopped after the first leg (by leading Tamara McKinney), second leg was carried out on March 21st, followed by the slalom - at last - in both races - Erika Hess was victorious. 
The February 17th was a sad day: Recent racer Wolfgang Junginger did die in an airplane crash next Hannover (Uli Hoeness did survive)   213.225.13.201 (talk) 12:23, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
