Jansrud, the Olympic champion, extended his overall World Cup lead by winning a super-G by a comfortable margin Saturday with only one very minor bobble after narrowly missing victory a day earlier. Svindal, the two-time overall champion and Jansrud's teammate, is out indefinitely after tearing his Achilles' tendon playing soccer the week before the season started. Miller is planning to return next month from back surgery and Guay, the 2011 world downhill champion from Canada, is also hoping to return soon from a pair of off-season knee operations. "If I want to compete in the overall I need to ski incredibly fast in the speed events, because there are more technical events," Jansrud said. The circuit traverses the Gardena pass to nearby Alta Badia for a giant slalom on Sunday then heads to Madonna Di Campiglio for a slalom on Monday night to conclude a series of four races in four days. Olympic downhill champion Matthias Mayer was on pace for the podium before he went wide around a turn toward the end of his run and skied through a gate as he attempted to correct his course.
