WENGEN, Switzerland - Aleksander Kilde of Norway claimed his second World Cup Super G win of the season when he skied to the fastest time on Friday.

Kilde, who won a bronze medal of the event at the Beijing 2022 Olympics, timed one minute and 47.84 seconds to win the famous race on the World Cup tour.

The 30-year-old Norwegian was victorious last month in Beaver Creek, the United States.

Local favorite Stefan Rogentin was 0.27 seconds slower than the winner while Beijing Olympic giant slalom champion Marco Odermatt, also a Swiss, finished third in 1:48.50.

With a speed of almost 160km per hour, Kilde didn't start well and almost stumbled before he recovered with a powerful run to record one of the quickest times.

A downhill and a slalom race will also be held during the weekend at the 93rd Internationale Lauberhornrennen here.
