SKIING
Switzerland has now won gold in all 11 events in the history of the Alpine skiing world championships.
The Swiss completed their medal collection by narrowly beating rival Austria to win the team event Tuesday at Are, Sweden.
Ramon Zenhausern edged Marco Schwarz in the final run as the Swiss followed up their Olympic title from last year’s PyeongChang Games.
Wendy Holdener, who won the combined on Friday, gave Switzerland its first point.
The final finished 2-2 after the four parallel slalom races, with Switzerland winning thanks to a lower overall time.
Austria is the only other nation with world titles in the five men’s races, five women’s races and the team event.
Also on the winning team were Aline Danioth, Andrea Ellenberger, Sandro Simonet and Daniel Yule.
