KITZBUEHEL, Austria — Didier Defago of Switzerland has won a World Cup downhill race for his second victory in eight days. Bode Miller of the U.S. finished tied for fourth.

Defago charged down the famed Streif course in 1 minute, 56.09 seconds Saturday to beat Michael Walchhofer of Austria by 0.17 seconds. He also won a World Cup downhill in his native Wengen last Saturday.

Klaus Kroell of Austria was third. Miller shared fourth place with Didier Cuche of Switzerland.

The race was interrupted for about 20 minutes after TJ Lanning of the United States crashed into the safety nets. He injured his right knee and was taken to a hospital by helicopter as a precaution, said U.S. team spokesman Doug Haney.
