Feuz marks birthday with Sochi win
BEAT Feuz celebrated his 25th birthday in style yesterday by winning the first World Cup downhill race to be held on the Sochi piste in Russia that will be used for the 2014 Winter Olympics.
Winner of the Lauberhorn classic in Wengen last month, the Swiss confirmed he was one of the very best speed specialists this winter, dominating his rivals to win in a time of two minutes and 14.10 seconds.
Feuz, who also won a super-G in Val Gardena in December, beat up-and-coming Canadian Benjamin Thomsen by 0.27 seconds in second.
"It's a great story to win on my birthday. I didn't expect as much. I didn't overdo it at the top to save energy for the finale," Feuz, hampered by a toothache, said.
France's Adrien Theaux, third in a super-G in Lake Louise early in the season, snatched the last place on the podium, 0.59 adrift.
American Bode Miller, fastest on the extreme top part of the Rosa Khutor piste, faltered in the faster bottom section to miss out on the top three by 0.02.
