Austria’s Matthias Mayer became the first man to win an Alpine skiing gold medal at three consecutive Olympic Games after winning the super-G at the Beijing Games on Tuesday.
Mayer, who won gold in downhill in Sochi in 2014 and super-G in Pyeongchang four years ago, raced down ‘The Rock’ in a time of 1:19.94 with American Ryan Cochran-Siegle just four hundredths of a second behind him.
Norway’s Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, the top ranked skier in both speed disciplines, had to settle for a bronze medal – his first in an Olympics but still a disappointing return after his fifth placed finish in downhill.
