KVITJELL, Norway — Travis Ganong (Squaw Valley) knifed through rugged snow and limited visibility Friday to earn the first Audi FIS Alpine World Cup podium finish of his career with third in the first of two Kvitfjell downhills.

Fresh off what was a career-best fifth at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games downhill in Sochi, Ganong wiped his goggles mid-run as rain and wet snow pelted the fog-shortned course.

Olympic super G champion Kjetil Jansrud of Norway and Austrian Georg Streitberger tied for a unique victory.

Bode Miller (Franconia, N.H.) finished 16, Steven Nyman (Sundance, Utah) 18 and Marco Sullivan (Squaw Valley) 21.
