Jansrud wins downhill at Beaver Creek

Winner of both events in Lake Louise last weekend, the 29-year-old Super-G Olympic champion crossed in one minute and 40.17 seconds to build a solid lead in the overall World Cup standings.

"Three out of three for me, four out of five for Norway. There's nothing to add, I think. I'm lost for words," he said.

With Henrik Kristoffersen's victory in a men's slalom in the Finnish resort of Levi last month, Norway have now won four of five races.

Switzerland's Beat Feuz, who missed the entire 2013 season with knee problems, came second in 1:40.71 for his first podium since early 2012. Third place went to local favourite Steven Nyman, who finished 0.02 seconds behind Feuz.

Jansrud will again be the man to beat in Saturday's Super-G on the same Birds of Prey course, home of the 2015 world championships in February.
