  • Going for it, Steve Podborski, Canada's World Cup downhill ski champion, is leading the pack in this Wheelathon 82 race at Variety Village in Scarborough yesterday. But it was only a warm-up and in a head-to-head challenge race a little later, Podborski was soundly beaten by Leslie Lam, who is as experienced in a wheel-chair as Podborski is on the slopes.
