Jansrud sees off American rivals in super-G

Norwegian skier Kjetil Jansrud won his first Winter Olympics gold medal after triumphing in the men’s super-G, while American Bode Miller earned a historic podium place.

Jansrud, a bronze medallist in the downhill a week ago, posted a time of one minute 18.14 seconds to leap to the top of the standings at Rosa Khutor Alpine Centre.

His time was 0.3secs quicker than nearest challenger Andrew Weibrecht, with his fellow American Miller and Canadian Jan Hudec sharing bronze with an identical time of 1:18.67.
