Qualifying just wrapped up for the 2009 US Open Downhill! Bryn Atkinson sits in first for the men, while Fionn Griffiths sits in the hot seat for the ladies. This morning the sky was blue and things looked promising, but the clouds rolled in dumped a quick shower on the course with only 15 minutes left in practice.
