Alpine skiing: Theaux triumphs in Kvitfjell downhill

March 2, 2013 10:00
Adrien Theaux of France on Saturday claimed his second career World Cup win, and first of the season, in the downhill in the Norwegian resort of Kvitfjell. Theaux's time of 1min 29.1sec gave him the victory by a margin of 0.19sec from home favourite Aksel Lund Svindal, with Klaus Kroell of Austria in third, half a second behind the winner. Theaux has endured a disappointing season since finishing second in the super-G at Lake Louise in Canada in November, and this is his first win since claiming the downhill in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, in March 2011.

Alpine sking: Svindal uncertain for super-combined slalom

February 11, 2013 11:15
Norway's five-time world champion Aksel Lund Svindal is in doubt for the slalom section of the super-combined event here on Monday. Defending champion Svindal, fresh from downhill gold and super-G bronze, was second in the downhill section and has been in scintillating form, but was later treated for pain in his groin, the Norwegian team said. The 30-year-old, two-time overall World Cup champion will undergo further tests before deciding whether to race in the slalom leg which will take place on a flood-lit piste. asc/lp/gnf13

Alpine skiing: Svindal the attacking Viking strikes again

February 9, 2013 23:16
Aksel Lund Svindal took a step further into the pantheon of Norwegian skiing greats with his dominant victory in the men's downhill at the World Ski Championships. Svindal, part of the self-proclaimed "Attacking Vikings" team, produced a masterclass in speed skiing on the surprisingly tricky Planai to enhance his position as one of the sport's greats. The 30-year-old's victory saw him draw level with compatriot Kjetil-Andre Aamodt with five world gold medals. Only Austrian Toni Sailer (seven) and France's Jean-Claude Killy (six) have won more golds on the world stage.

Alpine skiing: Svindal glad to finally live up to favourite's tag

February 9, 2013 10:45
Failure to win the super-G and the loss to injury of his sole teammate were the added motivation Aksel Lund Svindal called on to claim gold in Saturday's world downhill race. The strapping Norwegian arrived at the World Ski Championships as outright favourite in the speed events, and he admitted that his bronze-medal showing in the opening super-G had been hard to stomach. That disappointment, allied with the loss through injury of teammate Kjetil Jansrud, conspired to fire him to a stunning victory down the Planai slope in the blue riband event.
