MONTREAL - Slovenia's Ilka Stuhec won the season-opening ladies downhill at Lake Louise on Friday with the first World Cup victory of her ski racing career. Italy's Sofia Goggia was second with a time of one minute, 45.70 seconds, while Sweden's Kajsa Kling finished third with one minute, 45.79 seconds. The pre-race favorite, Lara Gut of Switzerland, settled for a time of one minute, 46.17 seconds and a fourth place finish. She tied for 18th in Friday's downhill with a time that was almost two seconds slower than Stuhec. But this is the first World Cup downhill for Shiffrin who has dominated in slalom the past few seasons.
