KVITJELL, Norway, March 2 (UPI) -- The World Cup men's super-G race in Norway Friday ended with Beat Feuz of Switzerland and Austria's Klaus Kroell in a rare tie for first place.

Both were timed at 1 minute, 32.35 seconds and Kjetil Jansrud of Norway took third place a mere 3/100 of a second behind the leaders.

The dual win was the fourth victory of the season for Feuz, who regained the lead in the overall World Cup standings.

Didier Cuche of Switzerland took fourth place in the race, which was delayed for an hour at the start by high winds. His Swiss teammate, Axel Lund Svindel, placed fifth and took the lead in the super-G standings.

"After the downhill practice and my knee injury at Moscow, this was totally unexpected," Feuz said. "It's a big surprise but it's a great one as it puts me back on course in both the overall World Cup and in the super-G standings."

Feuz leads Marcell Hirscher of Austria in the overall standings by just five points. Hirscher did not compete in Friday's race, nor did Croatian Ivica Kostelic, who is in third place overall.
