French duo Arthur Loye and Valentin Bon Betend had to settle for second and third place on the rostrum as neither skier could match Baldwin's time of 1:14.11.

Baldwin won the inaugural Sir John Ritblat Downhill Cup for his efforts and was presented the trophy by Ritblat himself in his 33rd year of supporting the event.

Britain's women skiers were outgunned by 15-year-old Australian Greta Small, who blitzed the field to win the downhill by more than a second.
