( CNN ) Norway 's Kjetil Jansrud clinched the biggest prize in men 's skiing after winning the Kitzbuehel downhill , considered the 'Super Bowl ' of the sport . Jansrud , who had not performed well during Friday 's super-G , recorded a time of 58.16 seconds , two-hundredths of a second ahead of the Italian Dominik Paris . Shortened course . The time was half of what would usually be expected to win the title . Appalling weather conditions , including heavy fog and snow , severally curtailed the race . Such was the poor visibility that the organizers moved the start to the Seidelalm jump , half way down the two mile course . It meant that many of the course 's most terrifying features , including the opening Mausefalle -- or mousetrap -- which sees competitors reach speeds of close to 100 mph , had to be bypassed . 'Tiger turned into a kitten ' Jansrud had predicted that the course would be easier than usual . In a tweet sent before the race he said that the course was now a `` tiger turned into a kitten , but still : Safety first . '' But that did n't detract from what must rank as the highlight of Jansrud 's career so far . `` Winning in Kitzbuehel has been a goal for many years , '' the 29-year-old said after his victory . `` To make it happen is pretty extraordinary . '' Vonn flops , finally . In the women 's downhill in St Moritz Lindsey Vonn finally proved she was fallible after a rare mistake saw her finish 23rd . Vonn , who wore the slogan `` I 'm the Best '' on her bib , had the chance to extend her World Cup win record . Instead Switzerland 's Lara Gut gave the home crowd something to cheer with a winning time of 1 minute 43.82 seconds . `` I simply looked to find the shortest line , '' Gut said after her victory . `` It was very tough to ski . ''
