CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (Reuters) - Corinne Suter continued Switzerland's golden start to the Alpine skiing world championships on Saturday by winning her country's first women's downhill title in 32 years.

A silver medallist two years ago and also in Thursday's super-G, won by team mate Lara Gut-Behrami, Suter started seventh and made no mistakes as she powered down Cortina's glistening Olympia delle Tofane piste.
