Austria continues domination of skiing’s fastest race

(CNN)Throughout the years no country has dominated the prestigious Wengen downhill quite like Austria — and no country has dominated men’s skiing in 2019 quite like the Austrians either.

Austria’s Vincent Kriechmayr edged home favorite Beat Feuz by 0.14 seconds in Switzerland on Saturday to win the oldest, longest and fastest race on the men’s World Cup circuit.
In the 89th edition of the downhill race, Kriechmayr provided Austria with its 31st win in the historic race, while the 27-year-old’s victory also means an Austrian has won every men’s World Cup race in 2019.
