Mayer tops Innerhofer, Feuz to win Kitzbuehel super-G
Print Edition
MATTHIAS Mayer finally managed to get over last season’s horrifying downhill crash, giving the host country a winning start to the traditional Hahnenkamm races yesterday.
The Olympic downhill champion wore a protective air bag system but still broke two vertebrae as his body slammed on an ice slope in Italy 13 months ago. Under crisp blue skies and on a fast course where racers reached speeds of up to 140 kph, the Austrian’s run of 1 minute, 11.25 seconds beat Christof Innerhofer of Italy by 0.09 seconds. Beat Feuz of Switzerland was 0.44 behind in third in Kitzbuehel. In the final super-G ahead of next month’s world championships, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde missed the podium by 0.02 seconds in fourth. Norwegian teammate Aksel Lund Svindal, who won the race last year, underwent knee surgery this week and has ended his season. The result ended Kjetil Jansrud’s three-race unbeaten streak in super-G this season. With another win, the Norwegian would have matched the record of four straight wins set by Austrian great Hermann Maier in 1998, but he finished 0.92 off the lead in ninth.
