France's Sarrazin powers to Wengen super-G win ahead of Odermatt

Cyprien Sarrazin gave France their first men's super-G victory in a decade denying Swiss hope Marco Odermatt a double on his home snow in Wengen on Friday.

Text size:

Sarrazin, 29, had finished second in Thursday's downhill behind Odermatt but pipped the Swiss skier in the super-G by 0.58sec to claim his second victory of the season.

Norway's Aleksander Aamodt Kilde rounded off the podium for a second consecutive day finishing one second off the pace.

French skier Alexis Pinturault, the world combined champion, was evacuated by helicopter after a heavy fall on the notorious Lauberhorn slope.

The 32-year-old hurt his left knee and wrist after coming a cropper landing a jump but did not lose consciousness.
