BEAT Feuz regained top spot in the race for the overall Alpine skiing World Cup when he finished joint first in a men's Super-G in Kvitfjell in Norway yesterday.
The Swiss shared honors with Austria's Klaus Kroell as both men clocked one minute and 32.35 seconds, increasing the suspense in the race for the overall title. Out of sorts in recent weeks, Feuz, made the most of the absence of his two main rivals to lead Austria's Marcel Hirscher by five points and Croatian Ivica Kostelic by 97. Hirscher is not racing in Kvitfjell and injured Kostelic is not expected back in action before next weekend in Kranjska Gora. Norwegian Kjetil Jansrud was third on his home piste, 0.03 adrift, after dominating the downhill training runs for this weekend on the same Olympiabakken course. His compatriot Aksel Lund Svindal finished fifth.
