Biennial world championship starts Tuesday in Austria
James Crawford and Cameron Alexander bring a combination of confidence and hunger to the world alpine ski championship.
Crawford, called “Jack” more often than “James”, is the defending world super-G champion. Alexander was a downhill bronze medallist two years ago in Courcheval, France. The championship opens Tuesday with team parallel slalom followed by women’s and men’s super-G on Thursday and Friday respectively. The women’s and men’s downhills go Saturday and Sunday respectively.“Winning would be really special. It was very cool to see Jack do that last time. It gave me a little bit of boost for the downhill,” Alexander said. “I give him a little bit of credit there. I look forward to laying it all out there.
Alexander and Crawford, both 27, rank sixth and seventh in the world in downhill, with Alexander holding the No. 7 spot in super-G.
