AFP - Croatian Ivica Kostelic on Friday claimed his third victory of the season in the World Cup men's super-combined.

Kostelic finished 0.54sec ahead of Switzerland's Carlo Janka with Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal 1.34sec off the pace.

Kostelic extended his lead at the top of the overall World Cup standings with an 109 points advance on Svindal.

Fifth after the downhill leg Kostelic was the big favourite particularly as the slalom course was set by his father and trainer Ante.
