KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — Sandro Viletta of Switzerland stunned the favorites and won the Olympic super-combined title Friday in a spring-like race.

Viletta finished in a two-run combined time of 2 minutes, 45.20 seconds.

Ivica Kostelic of Croatia took the silver medal in this event for the third consecutive Olympics, 0.34 behind, and Christof Innerhofer of Italy took bronze, 0.47 behind, to add to his silver from downhill.

Viletta stood only 14th after the downhill portion but he put down the second-fastest slalom run and then waited as one skier after another failed to catch him.

The 28-year-old Viletta has won only one World Cup race in his career, a super-G in Beaver Creek, Colo., in December 2011. His best super-combined result came in Wengen, Switzerland, last month when he was fourth.

Downhill leader Kjetil Jansrud of Norway finished fourth.

The medalists were determined by adding the times together from one downhill run and one slalom leg.

The temperature soared to 13 degrees Celsius (55 degrees Fahrenheit) shortly before the start of the slalom leg, turning the snow to slush.
