Conditions were again perfect - cold, sunny and hard snow.

Jansrud, who took gold in super-G and bronze in downhill at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, also led the opening training session on Thursday.

The downhill race is scheduled for Saturday, with a super-G on Sunday.

This is the first of 28 test events for the next Winter Games.
