Street Places Fourth

Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy Isolde Kostner of Italy and American Picabo Street have put themselves squarely in the picture for the Nagano Olympics.

Kostner scored her first victory in a year in a World Cup downhill, suddenly brightening a mediocre season and serving notice that she will be a force in Nagano next month.

Street, too, suddenly looks better for the games. The 1994 Olympic downhill silver medalist and 1996 world champion finished fourth, less than one second off Kostner’s pace.
