Today's DH events at Canada Olympic Park started off under steady rain fall. The course conditions changed through out the day from light wet mud during heavy rain, to sticky speed robbing clay, and back again. During qualifying it was most noticable as the first half of the field aired through the doubles and tables at the top of the course while the remainder hammered to barely roll up the lips. Eventually they had whittled the 104 riders down to the top 80 for the big show.
