JEONGSEON, South Korea (AP) — Inadvertently, the Crown Prince of Norway picked a good day to head up the mountain to watch Alpine skiing.
The heir to the throne was in attendance Thursday when Norwegian teammates Aksel Lund Svindal and Kjetil Jansrud took gold and silver in the men's downhill — one of the marquee events at the Winter Olympics.
"We were supposed to see super-G today," Crown Prince Haakon told The Associated Press minutes after joining a jubilant victory photograph with the winning team. "It's been a good race, a good day."
The original plan made sense.
