Austrian Feurstein wins men's World Cup super-G finale
Lukas Feurstein gave Austria its first victory of the men's super-G World Cup season in the campaign's final race on Sunday, edging countryman Raphael Haaser at Sun Valley.
Feurstein, 23, had collected his first World Cup podium last December with a third-place finish at Beaver Creek, Colorado, and added his first World Cup triumph on US snow as well.
Feurstein won in 1:10.96 with Haaser second in 1:11.15 and Swiss Franjo von Allmen third in 1:11.38.
Swiss star Marco Odermatt has already clinched the overall, downhill, Super-G and giant slalom titles.
Odermatt, starting 15th in the field of 24, was off the pace from the first interval and settled for fifth in 1:11.92.
