Olympic Men's Alpine Skiing Results 2018: Aksel Lund Svindal Wins Downhill Gold

Downhill skiing is a young man's sport—unless that man is Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal.

After a series of weather delays, the downhill event finally took place at the 2018 Winter Games on Wednesday, with Svindal turning in a time of 1:40.25 to capture gold. The 35-year-old became the oldest Olympic alpine skier in history to win gold.

Compatriot Kjetil Jansrud finished 0.12 seconds behind Svindal to take silver, and Switzerland's Beat Feuz captured bronze.
