The men's super-G competition of the Sochi 2014 Olympics was held at the Rosa Khutor Alpine Resort, near Krasnaya Polyana, Russia, on Sunday, 16 February.[1]
Kjetil Jansrud of Norway won the gold medal and Andrew Weibrecht of the United States took the silver. Two bronze medals were awarded for the third-place tie between Jan Hudec of Canada and Bode Miller of the U.S.[2]
The vertical drop of the course was 622 m (2,041 ft), starting at an elevation of 1,592 m (5,223 ft) above sea level, with a length of 2.096 km (1.30 mi). Jansrud's winning time of 78.14 seconds yielded an average course speed of 96.565 km/h (60.0 mph), with an average vertical descent rate of 7.960 m/s (26.1 ft/s).
Jansrud's win was the fourth straight in this event for Norway, following Kjetil André Aamodt (2002, 2006) and Aksel Lund Svindal (2010).
