Weibrecht Leads USA In Weather-Shortened Super-G
Andrew Weibrecht (Lake Placid, N.Y.) was the top American finisher in 24th in Friday’s weather-shortened FIS Ski World Cup super-G in Kitzbuehel, Austria.
Norway went 1-2 with Aksel Lund Svindal taking the win ahead of teammate Kjetil Jansrud. Austria’s Matthias Mayer was third.
Heavy snow forced race officials to move the start lower and push back the start time to allow crews to clear the course. Tommy Biesemeyer (Keene, N.Y.) finished 26th; Bryce Bennett (Squaw Valley, Calif.) was 27th; Maple Wiley (Aspen, Colo.) was 29th; and Steven Nyman (Sundance, Utah) was 32nd. Both Biesemeyer and Weibrecht clinched Olympic spots.
Up next, the men race downhill on the Hahnenkamm track Saturday.
