It's game day for the men, as they will race their World championships downhill today!

The day started with some training runs.

Then the men moved to the race track to have their inspection.

Canadian team had a really successful Super-G day, maybe they can repeat this on the downhill today.

20 cm of fresh snow covered the course this morning, course crew did a fantastic job and the Corviglia is in a great shape.

Inspection is an important moment. Reigning Olympic champion Matthias Mayer is one of the contenders for World title.

Tune in at 12.00 CET to find out who claims the Downhill World Champion title!
