Norway's Aleksander Aamodt Kilde won the downhill World Cup race in Wengen on Saturday, giving him a second win in two days in the Swiss Alps.
The 30-year-old Norwegian produced an aggressive and precise run to cross the finishing line in one minute 43.14 seconds, 0.88 seconds ahead of second-placed Swiss rival Marco Odermatt."I felt like I had good speed out of the tunnel and knew I had a chance. If I came down with green numbers, then it was a good sign. It is working well with my equipment and skiing. I can keep working on that and gain more confidence,” Kilde said.
Defending overall champion Odermatt maintained his lead at the top of the standings, although Kilde trimmed it to 340 points. "Alex was once again incredible and by far the best today, so I am happy with the place. I can find two or three tenths but not 0.88, so he deserved the win, and I will have to work harder," Odermatt said.
