WORLD CUP SKIING: At Kvitfjell, Norway, the weekend began with Hermann Maier an unhappy man after winding up 16th and 11th in consecutive downhills on Kvitfjell's Olympic course.
Without speaking to reporters, the Olympic champion left the area, and it seemed he pretty much had given up the fight for the World Cup overall title against Norwegian rivals Kjetil Andre Aamodt and Lasse Kjus.
On Sunday, "the Herminator" was a different man after he won the Super-G and clinched the World Cup crown in that discipline.
Now, the defending overall champion from Austria is only 25 points behind leader Aamodt and 17 behind Kjus.
