Austria's Matthias Mayer made up for the disappointment of his injury-hampered downhill title defense at the Pyeongchang Olympics by skiing an error-free run to win the men's super-G on Friday, ending 16 years of Norwegian dominance of the event.

A day after Aksel Lund Svindal became the first man to win golds in both the Olympic men's speed events, the Sochi downhill champion matched him with a master-class in turning at pace down the Jeongseon slope.

Disregarding the pain of the hip injury he sustained when he collided with a TV cameraman during Tuesday's combined, Mayer carved his way down the mountain in 1 minute, 24.44 seconds in perfect conditions at the Jeongseon Alpine Centre.
