Brosnan, Hill go one-two in downhill

Troy Brosnan and Tracey Hannah won the second round of the Austrlian National Gravity Cup in Mt Buller with amazing times that earned both of them finishes well clear of quality fields.

Men

Brosnan's time (3:14.14) put him over five seconds in front of teammate and friend Sam Hill, with Bryn Atkinson in third. Brosnan, the reigning junior world champion, put together a near perfect run.

"It felt amazing, I pinned the whole top section," said Brosnan. "Things got a bit sketchy in the middle, and I don't even know how I held on through the bottom section."

Wearing the "next big thing" label for some time, Brosnan only stepped up to the elite field this season, and said of his results, "First again, it's just amazing. I have to keep this momentum and keep going strong, this is a really good lead up to the World Cups."

Women

Tracey Hannah continued her successful return to the sport after a multi-year break subsequent to winning the junior world downhill championship. Her time (3:48.04) was over seven seconds in front of a field that included American legend and National Champion Jill Kintner.

"It was a good run, my goal was to take the win. I'm happy with that," said Hannah. Every race takes her one step closer to her World Cup and world championship goals for 2012. She was also glad of the presence of Kinter. "When internationals race in Australia, it makes me push myself a lot harder. I was happy that Jill was coming to Mount Buller."

"We come to Australia every year for three to four months to train," said Kintner, "to take advantage of the Aussie summer. This is the start of a campaign for the World Cups, and I'm making progress daily."

Juniors

In the under 19 categories, Connor Fearon took the win in a time (3:20.68) that would have placed him fourth in the elite field, and Danielle Beecroft won the female category.

Today's action also saw the culmination of the Real Insurance All Mountain Cup, with round 3 being a 25-kilometre point-to-point race on the Mt Buller Stonefly trail. Round 1, a super D, was held on Friday and the round 2 Olympic distance format cross country was held on Saturday.
