Austrian Matthias Mayer is the first skier to win gold in alpine skiing in three consecutive Olympics, after winning the Super G in Yanqing with a clean and authoritative performance.
Mayer, who took downhill gold in Sochi in 2014 and the Super G in PyeongChang in 2018, tamed 'The Rock', the Beijing 2022 track, in 1: 19.94 with American Ryan Cochran-Siegle detached of only 4 cents and the Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde of 42 cents.
The Italians are far from the podium with an almost photocopy test from the free: Matteo Marsaglia is 18 / mo, Dominik Paris 21 / mo, while Christof Innerhofer crashed.
