Cuche misses podium at Whistler
Switzerland's top skier, Didier Cuche, has missed a podium place in Thursday's World Cup super-G in the Canadian resort of Whistler.
He finished in the top seven. The event was won by Austria’s Christoph Gruber ahead of his compatriot Hannes Reichelt and Ales Gorza of Slovenia.
The best Swiss skier was Didier Défago in sixth place. American Bode Miller did not finish the race.
Cuche, who still leads the table in the super-G discipline, managed to gain a few additional points, but remains third in the overall standings of the World Cup behind Miller and Austria’s Benjamin Raich.
