Feuz is crowned downhill world champion - Fill in 9th place

A day after his 30th birthday, Feuz captured his first major title and second world championship medal after winning downhill bronze in Beaver Creek two years ago. The Swiss local hero relegated the Canadian Super-G world champion Erik Guay to second place with a lead of 12 hundredths. “The last few years have not been an easy time. It was difficult to keep getting up and coming back after the injuries. I think this is a well-deserved reward for a lot of hard work,” explained Feuz after the race. The Austrian Max Franz took bronze, 37 hundredths behind. He pushed the reigning title holder Patrick Küng from Switzerland and the same Norwegian Kjetil Jansrud off the podium. The two South Tyroleans also put on a decent, almost flawless performance Peter Fill and dominik paris . However, compared to the absolute top, they were simply too slow. The Castelrotto native made it into the top ten as ninth and the best Italian, while his teammate from Ultental took 13th place. The descent was held on a slightly shortened route due to fog. This eliminated the steep starting slope. Results of the Ski World Championships in St. Moritz (SUI): Departure, men 1. Beat Feuz (SUI) 1:38,91 minutes 2. Erik Guay (CAN) +0,12 3.
