Sarrazin Ends French Drought with World Cup Downhill Victory, Schwarz Suffers Season-Ending Injury

In a dramatic race on the Stelvio, Cyprien Sarrazin clinched a long-awaited victory for France, while Marco Schwarz's season was cut short due to a knee injury.

French skier Cyprien Sarrazin won the men's World Cup downhill race on the Stelvio, ending an eight-year wait for a World Cup downhill victory by the French team.
Marco Schwarz, who started as the overall World Cup leader, suffered a season-ending knee injury during the race.
Sarrazin's victory came after he edged out world champion Marco Odermatt by 0.09 seconds.
Canadian racer Cameron Alexander finished third, 1.23 seconds behind Sarrazin.
The race was marked by several other incidents, including last season's World Cup downhill champion Aleksander Aamodt Kilde quitting his run after his ski hit a rock and got damaged.
