Rather quietly, American Kyle Rasmussen has supplanted AJ Kitt on the U.S. downhill depth chart. Rasmussen finished 11th in Sunday’s downhill, missing a top 10 spot by one-hundreth of a second, and only sixth-tenths of a seconds out of first.

“I just had another solid, good run,” Rasmussen said. “Like I’ve been having the last month or so. One of these weeks I’m going to break through. This is my best finish in (international) competition. It was a good run and I’ve got to be happy with it.”
