  • Ganong's Colt Mows Down Them All in Santa Caterina
    ! ! GANONG’S COLT MOWS DOWN THEM ALL IN SANTA CATERINA VALFURVA by Claudio Pea A success for the American who comes from the lake dear to Kit Carson and lives with Michelle Marie Gagnon – Another fantastic podium for Dominik Paris, the fourth of the season. And now it’s a second place in the DH World Cup – Second place for the Olympic champion Matthias Mayer – A change in the start because of the strong wind damages Christof Innerhofer – Eleventh place for Peter Fill, who has got fever SANTA CATERINA VALFURVA, DECEMBER 28TH - There is always someone who – for a few hundredth of a second – spoils Dominik Paris’ party. This time those “someone” are an American who comes from the town of Kit Carson, the legendary pioneer of the far west, and the number one of the Austrians, the Olympic DH champion in Sochi, Matthias Mayer. Travis Ganong, the winner of the Santa Caterina Valfurva Downhill World Cup lives with his Canadian girlfriend Marie Michelle Gagnon (she is a specialist of technical World Cup races) on Lake Tahoe, on the border between California and Nevada. Before today’s exploit he was on the podium only once, third place in the Kvitfjell DH, last year. However, for better or worse – and perhaps taking advantage of the long absence of Svindal and Guay due to injury – he is always one of the top DH 7. He grew up in the legendary Squaw Valley ski area, the home of the 1960 Winter Games and was a freeskier before dedicating to alpine skiing. “I love my mountains and the beautiful lake, and of course Marie Michelle.
