Dressen's thunderous run delivers Kvitfjell downhill title, Feuz second

Olympic champion Aksel Lund Svindal was third, a further nine hundredths of a second behind Feuz.
The result means that Feuz and Svindal are the only two who can win the downhill World Cup title which will be settled at Are in Sweden on Wednesday.
Feuz leads the downhill standings with 622 points, 60 ahead of the Norwegian.
