Mader Hits Super-G

Guenther Mader of Austria earned his 11th World Cup victory, capturing a men’s Super-G race.

Mader was timed in 1 minute, 21 52 seconds, only .03 seconds ahead of Peter Runggaldier of Italy. Armin Assinger of Austria was third at 1:21.70.

With the victory, Mader moved into second place in the overall standings behind Alberto Tomba. Mader has scored in all five disciplines while Tomba races in only the slalom and giant slaloms.

Patrick Ortlieb of Austria, winner of the first Super-G of the season, clipped a gate and was eliminated after being near Mader’s time midway through the course.

Tomba won the slalom and Marc Girardelli of Luxembourg took the combined event.
