Narrative:

Time: XX00Z. ATC frequency; unknown. ATC facility: ZOB. Location: keating VOR. I am the first officer and PF. We were cleared to cross keating VOR at FL330 (our discretion from FL350). I became distraction and started descent late with very strong tailwinds resulting in missing the crossing altitude restr. Supplemental information from acn 356390: report not attached.
