Attacking Vikings: Svindal leads Norway sweep of super-G (The Associated Press)

For a nation better known for its exploits in Nordic sports, Norway has become quite adept at passing down success from generation to generation in Alpine skiing. First there were Lasse Kjus and Kjetil Andre Aamodt – two of the most decorated Alpine skiers in history – then came Aksel Lund Svindal and Kjetil Jansrud – two of the top current skiers. Now, 23-year-old Aleksander Aamodt Kilde – no relation to Andre Aamodt – has made his breakthrough on the World Cup circuit.
