Queenstown, New Zealand – Tommy Biesemeyer, of Keene, N.Y., kept the U.S. Ski Team podium streak rolling Friday with a giant slalom second during the third day of FIS Southern Cup alpine racing at Coronet Peak.

“Beisy [Biesemeyer] has been skiing solid giant slalom all camp and it showed today,” said Mike Day, U.S. Ski Team Men’s Technical Head Coach. “We build our camp plans to include these races as part of our progression.”

Swedish freeskier Jon Olsson, who has refocused on alpine in hopes of qualifying for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, won the race with Canadian David Donaldson in third.

“The hill was a bit soft today, but the crew did a good job to get off a successful race,” Day said of Friday’s course conditions.

Crested Butte, Colo.’s David Chodounsky was .03 off the podium in fourth as Ryan Cochran-Siegle, of Starksboro, Vt., and Holladay, Utah’s Jared Goldberg also placed in the top 10.
