LENZERHEIDE, Switzerland — Olympic champion Matthias Mayer of Austria won his first World Cup downhill race at Lenzerheide Wednesday. An upset winner in Sochi last month, 23-year-old Mayer claimed his new landmark triumph in the final World Cup downhill of the season. He took top spot ahead of Italy’s Christof Innerhofer and Ted Ligety of the United States, who were tied at 00.11seconds off the pace. Norway’s Aksel Lund Svindal, already assured of winning the downhill Crystal Globe for the season, placed fifth, which allowed him to jump back ahead of rival and defending champion Marcel Hirscher in the overall standings. — AFP
