Montillet, who is in her 12th year on the World Cup circuit, had waited longer than almost any of the other downhill skiers to record her first World Cup downhill victory.

Montillet said she worked hard in the off-season on her training for the downhill and super-G. "We did 50 days of training this summer in France and in Chile," she said.
