KITZBUEHEL, Austria (AP) — Overall leader Ivica Kostelic has won a super-G race Friday for his fifth World Cup victory of the year.
The Croatian slalom specialist, who had never won a speed race before, finished in 1 minute, 17.33 seconds to beat Georg Streitberger of Austria by 0.23 in provisional results. Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway was another 0.05 seconds back in third.
Last year’s winner, Didier Cuche of Switzerland, was fourth, while teammate and defending overall champion Carlo Janka was 2.04 behind after skiing off course and almost missing a gate.
