The men's super-g of Alpine Skiing 2018 during the 2018 Winter Olympics was held on 16 February 2018 in the Jeongseon Alpine Centre. With 62 athletes competing, the event was won by Matthias Mayer from Austria, with Beat Feuz from Switzerland taking the silver medal and Kjetil Jansrud from Norway taking bronze.
Format[]
The competition exists out of a single race. The competitor with the fastest time without missing any of the gates is the winner.
Preview[]
Sixty-two athletes qualified for the event and the Norwegian skiers were the big favorites, after winning gold in the previous four editions. Kjetil Jansrud was the reigning Olympic champion, and Aksel Lund Svindal won the gold medal in Vancouver 2010. Svindal also won the Downhill the day before. However, in the previous 14 years, the global titles in the Super-G were won by 11 different skiers. Hannes Reichelt, Ted Ligety and Christof Innerhofer were among those 11 skiers to have won a global title, winning the World Championships in 2015, 2013 and 2011, respectively. Other medal contenders included the Austrians Vincent Kriechmayr, Reichelt and Max Franz, with fellow Matthias Mayer retaining an injury from the alpine combined.
Results[]
The competition started nervous, with still no time set after two skiers. Vincent Kriechmayr was the first athlete to set a time, and with a time of 1:25.13, he challenged the skiers after him setting a good time. The first athletes to beat his time were Norwegians Kjetil Jansrud and Aksel Lund Svindal, according to expectations, who were able to reach 1:24.62 and 1:24.93, respectively. Svindal's time, as the ninth skier on the startlist, quickly got broken by Blaise Giezendanner, which made the top three Jansrud, Giezendanner and Svindal. Despite his injury, Matthias Mayer was able to get the fastest time after fifteen runs, and Swiss Beat Feuz, who won the bronze medal in the Downhill event, was 0.05 seconds than Jansrud, as well. Dominik Paris, Andreas Sander and Dustin Cook completed the top 9, with Slovenian Bostjan Kline finishing tenth. Previous world champion Ted Ligety missed a gate and was forced to retire.
Matthias Mayer won his second Olympic title, after winning the downhill event four years prior. Beat Feuz and Kjetil Jansrud won their second medals in Pyeongchang, both after winning a medal at the downhill event the day before, the latter winning his fifth medal at the Olympic Games. Blaise Giezendanner finished just outside of the podium at his Olympic debut, with veterans and debutants following each other up with Aksel Lund Svindal, Vincent Kriechmayr, Dominik Paris, Andreas Sander, and Bostjan Kline all within a second
