ST. MORITZ, Switzerland (AP) – Erik Guay won the super-G title at the world championships on Wednesday as the Canadians outdueled the favored Norwegians.
The 35-year-old Guay got his first victory in almost three years, beating Olympic super-G champion Kjetil Jansrud by 0.45.
Norway seemed sure to also take bronze in an event it dominates, but late-starting Manny Osborne-Paradis of Canada edged World Cup champion Aleksander Aamodt Kilde off the podium.
On his 33rd birthday, Osborne-Paradis claimed his first career championship medal, trailing Guay by 0.51, and was serenaded by a finish-area crowd singing for him.
Guay added super-G gold to his downhill title from the 2011 worlds in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Last month, Guay crashed in a treacherous downhill at the German course but avoided injury.
