Aleksander Aamodt Kilde takes super-G for first World Cup win of season

VAL GARDENA, Italy (AP) — Defending overall champion Aleksander Aamodt Kilde won a World Cup super-G on Friday for his first podium result of the season.

The Norwegian was 0.12 seconds faster than Mauro Caviezel, the discipline title holder from Switzerland who won the previous race in the French Alps last week.

Kjetil Jansrud finished third, trailing his Norwegian teammate by 0.21. Full results are here.

It was Kilde’s fifth career win, and third in super-G. He scooped the overall title last season while winning only one race, a super-G in Austria in February.
