THE OAK ATTENDS AUSTRIA'S WORLD CUP! Arnold watches Daron Rahlves in action! Reported By: Ulf Kristensson Monday, January 27, 2003 Schwarzenegger and Shriver were in Austria over the weekend to witness Daron Rahlves become the first American to win a men's World Cup downhill on the notorious Hahnenkamm slopes. In 1 minute, 9.63 seconds, Rahlves raced down the shortened Streif course ‹ considered the most dangerous on the World Cup circuit. "I feel like this is my destiny," said Rahlves after his second downhill victory of the season. "Kitzbuehel is incredible. I'm just trying to soak it up right now. "It's every downhiller's dream to win on the Hahnenkamm. It's the sign of a great champion and I did that today." The only previous American downhill victory on the famed Hahnenkamm came from ski legend Buddy Werner, who triumphed in 1959, nine years before the creation of the World Cup.
