KVITFJELL, Norway, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 25th Feb, 2017 ) - Norway's Kjetil Jansrud won Saturday's downhill on home snow in Kvitfjell to consolidate his position at the top of the World Cup standings in the discipline.
Jansrud won with a time of 1min 47.63sec, beating Italy's Peter Fill by 0.08sec with Beat Feuz of Switzerland 0.14 off the pace in third. The 31-year-old has now been a winner six times on the course used for the Lillehammer 1994 Winter Olympics, twice in downhill and four times in super-G.
