Aksel Lund Svindal won his third straight World Cup race as part of Norway’s first one-two downhill finish since 1999 in Beaver Creek, Colo., on Friday.
Svindal, the three-time 2010 Olympic medalist, beat countryman Kjetil Jansrud by three tenths of a second on the Birds of Prey course.
The last time Norway went one-two in a World Cup downhill was 1999, when Kjetil Andre Aamodt and Lasse Kjus did so in Kitzbühel, Austria.
“Kjetil [Jansrud] came pretty close in the end … got to respect that,” Svindal said on NBCSN.
