Jansrud edges Svindal for Norway 1-2 in World Cup combined (The Associated Press)

Kjetil Jansrud edged ahead of his Norwegian teammate Aksel Lund Svindal to win a World Cup combined event that favored downhill racers on Friday. Jansrud needed acrobatic recovery skills to avoid a near wipeout in the final slalom section to post a time that beat first-run leader Svindal by .04 seconds. Crossing the finish line, Jansrud – who rarely skis slalom – raised both arms and punched the air with his left fist.
