Skiing Mancuso leads spectacular effort by U.S. women: Not since the 1984 Olympics had U.S. women been so dominant in a major skiing competition. Winner Julia Mancuso of Olympic Valley, Calif., and Lindsey Kildow of Vail, Colo., captured the top two places in a World Cup super-combi Sunday in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, Austria. Resi Stiegler of Jackson Hole, Wyo., was fourth. The 1-2-4 finish was a first for U.S. women in a World Cup event, and matched the showing in the giant slalom at the Sarajevo Olympics 23 years ago — when Debbie Armstrong of Seattle won gold, Christin Cooper took silver and Tamara McKinney placed fourth. Mancuso’s combined time for the morning downhill and afternoon slalom was 2 minutes, 9.16 seconds. “What a great victory for me, but for the team also,” Mancuso said. Matt prevails: Austria’s Mario Matt won a World Cup super-combi event on a sloppy course in Wengen, Switzerland, that helped wipe out American Bode Miller and left some skiers grumbling that the race wasn’t fair. Matt rallied in the slalom, taking advantage of starting first on a slope that seemingly got worse with each competitor. He was 34th after the downhill and had a combined time of 2:27.87. Miller, second after the downhill, straddled a gate in the slalom.
