Others are eyeing the same prizes.
Austria's Michael Walchhofer is intent on defending his World Cup downhill crown. He finished in the top three in all but three races last season.
U.S. teammate Bode Miller also could be an obstacle. Last season Miller broke through in the speed events, taking not only the World Cup overall and super giant slalom titles but also the world downhill and super-G titles. Miller won two downhills last season, while Rahlves was shut out.
Norway's Kjetil Andre Aamodt, runner-up to Austria's Fritz Strobl in Saturday's opening downhill, is a 15-year veteran. He knows the courses as well as anyone and holds the record in Alpine medals for the worlds and Olympics.
Austria's Johann Grugger, Liechtenstein's Marco Buechel and France's Antoine Deneriaz are dark horses.
In the Lake Louise downhill, conditions were poor for the later starters. The course _ shortened about 300 meters because of warm conditions _ did not suit Rahlves, who at 5-foot-9, 185 pounds lacked the mass to gain speed on the long opening flat section. He was third in Sunday's super-G.
