In the final event of his international career, Aksel Lund Svindal won the silver medal, two-hundredths of a second behind compatriot and training partner Kjetil Jansrud.[3] [4]
The race course was 2.172km (01.35miles) in length, with a vertical drop of 637m (2,090feet) from a starting elevation of 1033m (3,389feet) above sea level. Jansrud's winning time of 79.98 seconds yielded an average speed of 97.764km/h and an average vertical descent rate of 7.9645m/s.
