A 41- second dash over a tricky cours put him in top spot in downhill racing. The two wins gave him the Class A Men's combined title Dean Williams saved the day for Juneau. His second place in both downhill and slalom cinched the second place in the men’s combined for him, and but for one slight time-consuming slip at a hair turn during the slalom race, liams would have made for combined men’s closer.
