BREAKING: Vincent Kriechmayr Wins in Val Gardena

Austria’s Vincent Kriechmayr held on to the win by 0.05 seconds over Norway’s Kjetil Jansrud over the course of a long day in Val Gardena Groeden. Thomas Dressen followed up a strong performance in Lake Louise with yet another podium, finishing in third, 0.22 seconds off of Kriechmayr’s winning time.

Fog continuously rolled in and out of the course, causing multiple delays that caused the race to last over four hours. The first major delay occurred after the first 20 men ran, but that didn’t stop athletes like Steven Nyman (who ran 29th) from laying down solid finishes. Nyman finished 13th overall. In fact, multiple men from the back of the pack found their way into the top 30 finishers despite the delays.

Switzerland’s Gino Caviezel, younger brother to Mauro Caviezel (Friday’s fourth-place finisher), punched it in from bib 42 to place 14th overall, 0.08 seconds behind Nyman. USA’s Sam Dupratt scored his second set of World Cup super-G points, finishing 22nd overall. Canadian James Crawford had a career-best finish in the super-G, finishing in 17th from bib 41.

At the end of the day, the last 16 men on the starting did not get to start their runs due to fog.
