Sarrazin, 29, had finished second in Thursday's downhill behind Odermatt but pipped the Swiss skier in the super-G by 0.58sec to claim his second victory of the season.

French skier Alexis Pinturault, the world combined champion, was evacuated by helicopter after a heavy fall on the notorious Lauberhorn slope.

The 32-year-old hurt his left knee and wrist after coming a cropper landing a jump but did not lose consciousness.
