LONDON, England -- Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway continued his superb start to the men's World Cup skiing season with victory in the Super-G at Lake Louise in Canada on Sunday.
Svindal has taken up where he left off last season with two fine victories.
Svindal, who won the World Cup overall title last season, finished ahead of Austria's Benjamin Raich and Didier Cuche of Switzerland.
The same trio finished one-two-three in the World Cup overall last season and were again in good form.
Early starter Raich looked set for victory until Svindal powered down for a one minute 29.19 second run to edge him by 44-hundredths of a second.
Cuche was third, 60-hundredths of a second behind as Svindal posted his second victory of the season, to go with a giant slalom triumph in Solden.
He tops the 2007-08 World Cup standings.
In women's World Cup action on Sunday, Marlies Schild of Austria won her second straight World Cup slalom at Panorama in Canada.
Schild, who had a slim lead after the first run, skied the second-fastest second run and won with a total of one minute, 39.95 seconds.
Sarka Zahrobska of the Czech Republic was second, edging Ana Jelusic of Croatia by a hundredth of a second. Schild has won six of the last seven World Cup slaloms to dominate the discipline. E-mail to a friend
