The Paralympic and world champion came second to France's Arthur Bauchet in the first two super-G races yesterday, settling for silver medals on the slope that is only a short drive from where he lives.

As he watched Bauchet's celebration from the finish line, Gmur promised to win the next race and that is exactly what he did with a time of 1min 9.15sec.

Bauchet was 0.70 seconds behind, while Austria's Markus Salcher ended 0.81 seconds off the pace to collect his second bronze medal of the competition.

"It's a really good feeling," Gmur said.

"Yesterday it was maybe not my day, but Arthur also skied really well and today I took my revenge.

"It's incredible to win at home."

In the women's standing event, French sensation Marie Bochet completed a hat-trick of victories at her first World Cup of the season with a time of 1:15.83.

It follows her "Grand Slam" of wins at last month's World Championships. 

Germany's Andrea Rothfuss was the silver medallist for the third time in 1:18.65, while Japan's Ammi Hondo secured the bronze medal in 1:22.30.

Today's men's sitting event saw The Netherlands' Jeroen Kampschreur beat Norwegian rival Jesper Pedersen to top spot at the third time of asking.

The two athletes have gone head-to-head in all five Alpine disciplines over the last season and it was Kampschreur who prevailed on this occasion in 1:13.18.

Pedersen finished second in 1:13.37, while the United States' Andrew Kurka came third in 1:15.01.

Japan's Momoka Muraoka fended off Germany’s Anna-Lena Forster for the second time in the women's sitting event.

Muraoka won by a mere 0.25 seconds, clocking a time of 1:23.67 to Forster's 1:23.92, and will next look to challenge her main rival in giant slalom in which she is the reigning world champion.

The bronze medal went to the US's Laurie Stephens in 1:26.32.

Besides Bochet, Slovakia's Miroslav Haraus was the only competitor able to accomplish a hat-trick in the three super-G races.

Haraus and his guide Maros Hudik were atop the men's visually impaired podium once again, this time in 1:12.93.

They beat two new skiing tandems; France's Hyacinthe Deleplace and guide Maxime Jourdan, second in 1:14.56, and the US's Kevin Burton and guide Kurt Grimmelmann, third in 1:15.73.

The women’s visually impaired race again went to Great Britain’s Menna Fitzpatrick and guide Jennifer Kehoe in 1:21.77.

Australia's Melissa Perrine and guide Bobbi Kelly, the only other competitors, did not finish. 

The giant slalom events are due to begin tomorrow with all classes competing in three races.
