Austrian Elisabeth Goergl led the second and final training for the women's downhill in Garmisch-Partenkirchen this weekend.

Goergl descended in a time of a minute 47.01 seconds, 0.24s quicker than American Stacey Cook and Marie Marchand-Arvier who were tied for second spot.

Frenchwoman Marchand-Arvier led Thursday's opening training in Germany.

American star Lindsey Vonn, the dominant overall and downhill World Cup leader, was down in 18th while Slovenian Tina Maze - second overall - was 14th.

Vonn is looking for her 50th career win this weekend.

Maria Hoefl-Riesch, who took her first victory of the season in the super-combined in St Moritz last Sunday, was sixth on home snow - as she was on Thursday.

Tina Weirather, second in the downhill standings, was fifth behind Italian Daniela Merighetti.

The women's downhill is scheduled for Saturday with a Super-G on Sunday.
