Swiss Didier Cuche took the first position in last Friday’s men’s superG in Val Gardena in Italy. This was Cuche’s seventh victory in the World Cup. Today’s race was interesting because American Bode Miller, who took the second position, was only 0,02 seconds slower than Cuche. Didier Cuche made a mistake in the beginning, but was able to ski fast and take the leading position.

Third was Marco Büchel from Liechtenstein, who was also very fast. Büchel lost only 0,04 seconds to Cuche. Race continues in Val Gardena with men’s downhill skiing on Saturday. Friday’s superG results are below.
