2 for 2: Austria’s Mayer wins super-G for weekend sweep (The Associated Press)

SAALBACH-HINTERGLEMM, Austria (AP) — A year after his surprise win in the Olympic downhill, Matthias Mayer is starting to follow up his success on the World Cup circuit. ”In Sochi it was a situation (where) I didn’t win on World Cup before so many people didn’t know me,” Mayer said. Skiing virtually error-free with a soft touch that few others displayed, Mayer clocked 1 minute, 31.53 seconds down the rarely used Schneekristall-Zwolfer run to finish 0.23 seconds ahead of Adrien Theaux of France. Kjetil Jansrud of Norway finished third, 0.27 back, and slammed his poles on the snow angrily after seeing his result.
