KVITFJELL, Norway (AP) — Dominik Paris won his second race in two days Sunday as Italy went a perfect four-from-four at the World Cup finals. A day after winning the downhill , Paris also was the fastest in the super-G, beating Austrians Vincent Kriechmayr by 0. 07 and Raphael Haaser by 0.
38 seconds. “It's a surprise for me,” Paris said. “When I saw the green light at the finish line, I had to look twice because I couldn't believe it.
” Paris also won two World Cup races in one weekend in the Norwegian resort a year ago. On the women’s side, Sofia Goggia and Laura Pirovano triumphed in the super-G and downhill races, respectively, and both secured the discipline title this weekend. That, though, didn’t apply to Paris, as Swiss star Marco Odermatt had already been confirmed as the World Cup super-G and downhill champion a week ago, when he also locked up his fifth overall title .
