Feuz wowed the home crowd to finish just 0.2 seconds behind Croatia’s Ivica Kostelic. Bode Miller of the United States finished third.
“I knew I had to attack and that it would be difficult to do better than Kostelic,” Feuz said after the race. Kostelic has won five of his last six outings in the super-combined event.
It is the fifth time this season Feuz has finished in the top three of a World Cup event.
