Austrian Marcel Hirscher won his first World Cup super-G race, while the U.S. put two men on the podium in Ted Ligety and Andrew Weibrecht in Beaver Creek, Colo., on Saturday.
Hirscher, the four-time reigning World Cup overall champion, prevailed by .33 over Ligety. Weibrecht was .36 behind. Pre-race favorite Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal, seeking his fourth straight win on tour, placed 20th.
Hirscher is the reigning World Cup slalom and giant slalom champion and World champion in the super combined, but he had only one previous World Cup super-G podium before Saturday — a third place back in 2012.
