WENGEN, Switzerland — Carlo Janka of Switzerland has won a World Cup super-combined event for his second victory of the season. Bode Miller Bode skied off the course at the bottom half of his slalom run.

The 22-year-old Janka finished in 47.01 seconds in the slalom for a combined 2 minutes, 34.16 seconds following the downhill. He also won a giant slalom last month at Val D'Isere, France.

Miller veered off the course while leading on his split time. The 31-year-old American was sixth after the downhill.

Peter Fill of Italy was second and Silvan Zurbriggen of Switzerland was third.

Benjamin Raich of Austria was seventh and keeps his lead in the overall World Cup standings.
