WENGEN, Switzerland — Marco Sullivan (Squaw Valley) led the U.S. Ski Team Saturday by finishing 13th in the fabled Lauberhorn, one of the most punishing downhills on the Audi FIS Alpine World Cup.

“Today was not my best performance here. It was not a bad result, but I was really hoping to capitalize on my early start number which is always seen as an advantage on this long course that gets continuously more bumpy as the day wears on,” Sullivan said. “The result did move me back into the top 10 in the season downhill standings.”

Italian Christof Innerhofer took the win.

Travis Ganong (Squaw Valley) was 21st. Ted Ligety (Park City) did not ski the downhill, but caught a break when World Cup overall challenger Aksel Lund-Svindal of Norway went out.
