Norway's skier Aksel Lund Svindal wins the Super-G
Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal got his season off to the ideal start by winning the first Super-G of the men's World Cup season.
Aksel Lund Svindal could only muster sixth place in the first downhill
of the season in Lake Louise on Saturday but he did better on Sunday,
clocking a time of one minute 26.04 seconds.
 Austrian Benjamin Raich finished in second,
seven-hundredths-of-a-second behind, while America's Daron Rahlves took
the final podium place.
"My skiing has been going very well for a long while," said Aksel Lund
Svindal. "The good thing when you ski all four is that you have more
possibilites for a good result."
Two of the pre-race favourites, World Cup champion Bode Miller and Austria's Hermann Maier finished well down the order.
Bode Miller was 18th after almost crashing halfway down the course,
while Hermann Maier finished 21st having almost skied off course.
