Hey there, time traveller!

SUN VALLEY, Idaho (AP) — Lukas Feurstein led a 1-2 Austrian finish in the final super-G race of the season on Sunday at the World Cup finals.
Feurstein’s first World Cup victory came on the new and steep Sun Valley course. The 23-year-old finished in 1 minute, 10.96 seconds to hold off teammate Raphael Haaser by 0.19 seconds. Franjo Von Allmen of Switzerland finished third.
The fourth racer on the course, Feurstein had to wait and wait to see if his time would hold up.
“That was the hardest thing,” Feurstein said with a laugh. “It was really hard.”
Feurstein described the redesigned Sun Valley course as “really turney.” The men took the hill right after the women’s race, which created bumps and made a smooth run more difficult. The flat light didn’t help, either.
“But I think I managed it pretty good,” Feurstein said. “Just amazing.”
On Saturday, the men’s and women’s downhill races were canceled due to weather conditions. The racers were eager to take the hill.
“It was a hell of a ride, and not a normal for a men’s super-G,” Von Allmen said. “But it was something new, something different for us.”
Swiss racer Marco Odermatt made sure there was no drama by locking up the season-long discipline title ahead of the World Cup finals. He finished 215 points in front of fellow Swiss racer Stefan Rogentin. Vincent Kriechmayr of Austria wound up third — 219 points back — in the super-G standings.
The 27-year-old Odermatt turned in quite a season ahead of the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics. Not only did he win his fourth straight overall title, he also captured crystal globes in the giant slalom, downhill and super-G.
The next men’s race will be a giant slalom on Wednesday. The women have a GS race on Tuesday.
