Austrians took advantage of their early starts to finish first and second in the season-opening men's World Cup downhill in Lake Louise, Alta., on Saturday.

Matthias Mayer won for the second time in four years at the ski resort west of Calgary, followed by teammate Vincent Kriechmayr in second."Of course, I'm very satisfied," Mayer said. "It's the first race of the season. I know that I had some good work in summer. Not only me. Also, Vincent had good work this summer. As a team, we are in very good shape."

Defending World Cup downhill champion Beat Feuz of Switzerland had drawn a No. 5 start bib and finished third behind the Austrians in 1:48.09. About 40 centimetres of snowfall in a 24-hour period forced the cancellation of Friday's downhill. Course workers worked feverishly early Saturday to shift snow and groom the course for a noon start local time.

"I think it was very important because the snow was getting bumpier from number to number," Mayer said. "Starting number seven, I think I was in a good and Vincent and Beat also started in front of me. I saw Vince's run. It was really good." They also get a piece of the race's prize money totalling 120,000 Swiss francs . Mayer earned 45,000 Swiss francs for the win Saturday.
