Calgary's Jan Hudec skied to a podium finish on Friday, taking second place behind winner Aksel Lund Svindal in the men's World Cup super-G at Val Gardena, Italy.
Svindal increased his overall World Cup lead with his third career win in the Val Gardena, crossing in one minute 35.82 seconds in a flawless run.
Hudec finished second, 0.58 seconds behind, and Adrian Theaux of France was third, 0.91 back.
Erik Guay of Mont Tremblant, Que., was sixth overall (1:37.19).
Other Canadian results included Jeffrey Frisch in 33rd (1:39.04), Robbie Dixon 35th (1:39.33), Benjamin Thomsen 43rd (1:39.69); Conrad Pridy 45th (1:39.81); and Morgan Pridy 47th (1:40.04).
Several contenders, including Manuel Osborne-Paradis, skied off course or fell, with flat light making for difficult conditions. The North Vancouver native had been third, with Guay first, in Thursday's downhill training season.
For Hudec, it is a fifth career World Cup podium appearance, and the first since February 2012.
He joins the "Val Gardena" club, with Canadian teammates Guay (three times), Osborne-Paradis (twice) and John Kucera (once) previously reaching the podium at the World Cup stop.
A downhill is scheduled for Saturday, then the circuit moves over the Gardena pass into Alta Badia for a giant slalom on Sunday.
