The Aspen native was 19th in the GS at the World Championships last month The 25-year-old posted DNFs in his first two World Cup starts this season and failed to qualify for a second run in his last four but he’s turned things around lately “As far as my skiing goes I think I have been skiing pretty well since the middle of January,” Gile continued “And today I got a good start position and kept the same skiing and it worked out I’ve watched River do second runs for a while now and it feels really good to be able to join him and PK (Patrick Kenney) in the second run Kenney was the second American in the field “Huge day for the boys all around,” Radamus said “I’m beyond psyched to see Bridger collect his first World Cup points I know how hard he’s been working for this and how hard it is to break through I think this gives the whole team confidence seeing the hard work is paying off,” he continued “It’s awesome to have PK in there again as well The guys are building some real momentum.” Lindsey Vonn placed 13th and 16th in a pair of World Cup downhill races in Kvitfjell, Norway, on Friday and Saturday, respectively. It was the eight-time downhill World Cup champion’s first visit to the slope.

The overall World Cup leader struggled on the top half of the track and, despite finding some fluency further down, ended up 11 hundredths of the pace to leave the former Norwegian eyeing his adopted nation's first World Cup win. The only man who could deny him was his ex-teammate Kristoffersen who extended his lead on the top of the course with some fluid turns. The 30-year-old lost half of his advantage on the middle section, but had plenty in hand as he secured his fourth career giant slalom victory on the Podkoren. Kristoffersen told FIS that this victory "means a lot". He added, "It was a really nice race, really good conditions both the first and second run. It almost felt better on the second run, to be honest, to ski. "Here, it's so much control of the speed from the hill and the snow. Here, it's the skier. It's not a set-up race, so the shape is pretty OK at the moment." This win saw Kristoffersen close the gap on Odermatt in the giant slalom standings to 41 points with two rounds remaining. He will bid for a weekend double in Sunday's Kranjska Gora slalom. Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.

(AP Photo/Giovanni Auletta) KRANJSKA GORA, Slovenia (AP) — Olympic champion Sara Hector won her second women’s World Cup giant slalom of the season on Saturday as Italian skier Federica Brignone fell in the first run. Hector, who was fastest in the first run, finished 1.42 seconds ahead of the 18-year-old Lara Colturi of Albania, to move atop both the GS and overall standings. Hector, who won the second race of the season in Killington in November, was second in Semmering. She leads the GS standings with 296 points after four races, 96 ahead of Brignone, while she moved top of the overall leaderboard on 407 points, 24 ahead of Switzerland’s Camille Rast. “It’s really amazing.” Hector said. “But I was resting a lot this week, so maybe it helped a little bit. When I’ve been training a lot, resting is a good recipe.” Colturi celebrated her second World Cup podium place and Albania’s first in GS. “I was feeling really confident in myself in the last week and finally I’ve made two really good runs,” said Colturi, who finished ahead of New Zealand’s Alice Robinson. The women’s slalom is scheduled to take place Sunday at Kranjska Gora. Kristoffersen started the second run in joint sixth place but put in a technically brilliant performance to claim his second Slalom victory of the season. It was the first time in his career he has won a GS and a Slalom in the same weekend. His closest rivals for the Slalom Crystal Globe meanwhile lost ground – Loic Meillard (SUI/Rossignol) was fourth and Clément Noël (FRA/Dynastar) finished tenth after a scrappy second run, meaning the Norwegian now has one hand on the trophy with two Slalom races left. It was a fine day for Norway – and for Van Deer skis – too, as Timon Haugan (NOR/Van Deer) claimed second place. Manuel Feller (AUT/ Atomic), who has struggled to defend the Slalom Crystal Globe he won in fine fashion last season, looked back on form as he finished third.

Ljutic now leads in both the slalom discipline and the overall standings for the 2024/25 campaign. “I felt good. I was trying to push everywhere and the only thing that I thought I could do better was let go in the finish a bit earlier but it was enough,” Ljutic told the FIS.

(AP Photo/Giovanni Auletta) KRANJSKA GORA, Slovenia (AP) — Henrik Kristoffersen came from behind to win a men’s World Cup slalom on Sunday for his second victory in two days. The 2023 world champion from Norway stood sixth with 0.62 seconds to make up after the opening run, but his ninth-fastest time in the final run on a weakening course in the afternoon sunshine was enough for the victory. “It was a good second run. I think I still messed up the top and the second part a little bit,” Kristoffersen said. “Very tight today, so I’m lucky to be on the right side of the hundredths.” It was the first time Kristoffersen won a GS and a slalom race in the same weekend. “This was a big goal for me, so very happy with today,” he said. Meillard racked up four podium results in slalom this season. His sole career World Cup victory in the discipline came a year ago in Aspen, Colorado. Victor Muffat-Jeandet, who wore bib 38 and qualified in 26th, had a blistering run as an early starter in the second leg and the Frenchman finished in sixth, four spots ahead of his teammate Clement Noel, who is the Olympic champion. Noel won four races this season but trails leader Kristoffersen by 77 points in the discipline standings. Kristoffersen is second in the overall standings, but still faces a big gap of 360 points to three-time defending champion Marco Odermatt. The Swiss star does not compete in slaloms. Lucas Pinheiro Braathen straddled a gate and didn’t finish his first run, a day after he placed second in the GS to came close to giving Brazil its first World Cup victory in skiing.

Colturi aimed to emulate fellow youngster Zrinka Ljutic's (CRO/Atomic) maiden victory last Sunday and skied wisely beyond her years to overtake Robinson although she was ultimately no match for Hector "It just feels amazing," Colturi said of her second World Cup podium "I was feeling really confident in myself in the last week and finally I've made two really good runs." As for holding her nerve in the second run she said simply: "I was just thinking (of) having fun like always was error-free and never troubled as she powered away from Colturi's splits with the third-fastest second run to confirm her seventh World Cup victory and second in the Slovenian resort after her 2022 triumph With some more rest on Saturday night — and maybe another sandwich or two — the veteran Swede will be back at it again on Sunday in the Slalom at 10:00 CET hoping to complete the Kranjska Gora double to boost her hopes of ending the 2024-25 season with a crystal globe trophy The Olympic gold medallist now leads the women's overall standings Alice Robinson of New Zealand was third.

I’m really really happy.” Bassino jumps to the top of the giant slalom standings ahead of teammate Brignone with this win.

This victory saw Odermatt extend his lead over Kristoffersen in the giant slalom standings to 140 points with two races to go After Sunday's race, the discipline finale is at the World Cup Finals in Soldeu, Andorra taking place next Saturday. Marco Odermatt has won World Cup globes and an Olympic gold medal but that hasn't changed his personality: "I'm not the 'Ferrari guy' I just like to stay normal," the 25-year-old said in this exclusive interview American Mikaela Shiffrin finished seventh Leading from the first run on a calm and sunny but cold day in Slovenia the Swede – who was also victorious just before Christmas in the second giant slalom at Courchevel – produced a blistering second run to take victory by nearly a second On an icy Podkoren 3 piste, Hector, who led France's Tessa Worley by 0.08 seconds heading into the second attempt, pushed hard out of the gate to open up her advantage to more than six-tenths of a second at the first sector. She added more time with the fastest third sector of all skiers in the second run, crossing the finish line in a combined 2 minutes 15.79 seconds, 0.96 seconds ahead of second-placed Worley. "It's unbelievable. I felt really good on the middle, but you never know. I'm just in shock, it's so awesome," a clearly thrilled Hector told FIS TV after the race. Of her good giant slalom form – her four races this season have seen her record four podiums including the two wins – she added: "It's just all of a sudden worked so good, we've been working hard for a long time." The win puts Hector on 362 points in the giant slalom crystal globe race, leading Shiffrin by 46 points. Shiffrin could only manage a seventh-place finish after a slow first run put her down in 14th, nearly a second and a half behind Hector. The American still appeared race-rusty, coming off the back of a recent Covid infection which saw her miss a number of World Cup races, although she did move into provisional third place after her second run behind Lara Gut-Behrami and Maryna Gasienica-Daniel before Valerie Grenier and the final three runners – Marta Bassino, Worley, and Hector – each overtook them. France's Worley will take confidence from her runs today into the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 next month. After losing time to Bassino in the first sector of her second trip down the mountain, the Frenchwoman was strong through the flatter middle section to regain the advantage which she held to the end of the course before being ultimately overtaken by Hector. Bassino, meanwhile, will be relieved to have finished on the podium. The Italian began her second run some 0.77 seconds ahead of Grenier, the surprise leader from Canada, but was not the cleanest on her descent, losing time all the way down and only barely scraping home by 0.07 seconds to finish on the podium and in turn deny Grenier what would have been her first World Cup top-three finish. Gut-Behrami, the reigning world champion in giant slalom, was fifth; the 2019 world champion Petra Vlhova of Slovakia had a race to forget, finishing in 15th. But Zrinka Ljutic (CRO/Atomic) was not done yet, and the 20-year-old stormed home as the final skier on the mountain to win her second World Cup race just seven days after her first. "I'm speechless," Ljutic said in the finish area in front of the boisterous Croatian fans who had made the trip across the border to the Slovenian resort. "I didn't know how well Wendy skied," Ljutic admitted. "I had my own idea and I was really focusing on myself. I decided the tempo of the run, how I wanted to ski, and I really tried to stick to that vision." Other than their 11-year age difference, nothing could separate Ljutic and Holdener on their first run down the Podkoren, and the pair stepped it up even more in the afternoon, both finishing over a second ahead of the rest of the field. The 31-year-old Holdener was the first of the two to ski in the second run and she flew down the piste with the fastest run of the afternoon to that point, throwing down the gauntlet to Ljutic. Despite a short delay and the pressure of the cheering crowd, Ljutic somehow lifted her game even higher, keeping her nerve and narrowly increasing her advantage in the first three splits before holding on to win by 0.16 seconds. "I was trying to push everywhere," Zjutic said of how she managed to overcome Holdener. "The only thing I thought I could do better was let go in the finish a bit earlier, and I was like, 'I hope it's enough', and it was enough." A day after 32-year-old Sara Hector (SWE/Head) held off teenager Lara Colturi (ALB/Blizzard) to win the Giant Slalom on the same piste, Ljutic chalked up one for the newcomers and took the lead in the Slalom standings in the process. "Especially now after this nice result in Semmering (her win last Sunday), I had a big appetite," Ljutic said. "I obviously wanted to repeat it, and I felt, in some sense, powerful and dominant." Holdener, who was ecstatic in the finish area after her run, must have thought she had one foot on the top step of the podium, but the Swiss veteran will take second place all the same as she continues her comeback from injury. "I'm satisfied," Holdener said of her near-miss. "I attacked, I gave everything. It's an amazing fight. "It was difficult but I like it that way. It was a nice course setting for me." Holdener has had the misfortune of overlapping with two of the greatest Slalom skiers of all time, Mikaela Shiffrin (USA/Atomic) and Petra Vlhova (SVK/Rossignol), resulting in 35 of her 37 World Cup Slalom podiums being second or third. With those two stars absent and the field wide open, the Swiss veteran has now watched Ljutic match her career Slalom victory total in a week, but in the process, a new rivalry has emerged. "I feel in good shape and of course a podium is amazing," said Swenn Larsson, who shared another podium with Holdener two years after their famous joint victory in Killington. "I'm super happy but I still feel I have so much more that I want to get out there." That was arguably Ljutic's mindset just a couple of weeks ago, but now she is now in a different stratosphere, delivering victories not only for herself and her team, but for her fans as well. "I think they had a good show and they also got a good reward," Ljutic said of the Croatian supporters who made the trip to watch her. "I think these moments, we'll never forget." 2 months agoDuration 1:36:14FIS Alpine Ski World Cup Kranjska Gora: Men's slalom run 22 months agoSportsDuration 1:36:14Watch the second runs of the FIS alpine ski World Cup men's slalom from Kranjska Gora, Slovenia.

Feller was 0.23 seconds back, nudging Loic Meillard "I still messed up the top and second part a little bit," said Kristoffersen Lucky to be on the right side of the hundreds." Kristoffersen started the day three points ahead of Clement Noel in the slalom standings The Frenchman began his second descent with a 0.22 second edge over the Norwegian but was the slowest of the 24 skiers who finished and dropped to 10th That allowed Kristoffersen to increase his points total in the discipline standings to 567 In the overall standings, the Norwegian tightened his grip on second place with 946 points but is still 360 behind Swiss speed specialist Marco Odermatt a World Champion in giant slalom in 2019 and in slalom in 2023 He noted that he had scored "double weekends" before but always when both races were in the same event - either slalom or giant slalom - and had several times just missed a slalom/giant slalom sweep finishing first in one and second in the other "This was a big goal for me," the 30-year-old said "So I'm very happy with my day."

could scarcely be greater as the world’s best Alpine skiers prepare to return to Audi FIS World Cup action after a short year-end break with the women’s Giant Slalom and Slalom contenders kicking things off in Kranjska Gora on Saturday and Sunday respectively The first 10 weeks of the season have set the stage for a truly memorable second half but thrillingly the next generation have stepped up Throw in a selection of seasoned campaigners landing their first wins plus comeback queens and kings continuing to create their own headlines and you can understand why fans cannot wait for it all to start again and there is the small matter of the 2025 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in early February He may have been upstaged in the most recent races by a pair of young compatriots determined to make their own mark on the big stage but there is no doubting Marco Odermatt’s (SUI/Stöckl) continued position as the outstanding men’s skier of his generation one in Downhill and one in Super G) and two podiums in 10 races has placed the Swiss megastar once again atop the Overall World Cup win No.41 in the Alta Badia GS took him above long-time idol Pirmin Zurbriggen as Switzerland’s most successful male World Cup skier The 27-year-old will have tens of thousands cheering him on as he chases another double success in Wengen (Super G on 17 January and Downhill on 18 January) But Odermatt has made it clear he wants the Downhill in Kitzbühel (25 January) more than any other even before you add on those trying to stop him Odermatt’s teammates Franjo Von Allmen (SUI/Head) and Alexis Monney (SUI/ Stöckl) will not be lacking for support down the Lauberhorn either have announced their arrival at the very top level in some style in recent weeks Both skiers beat Odermatt in the most recent World Cup Downhill Monney pipped his slightly younger compatriot to take a maiden win But two second places in a row leave Von Allmen as Odermatt’s nearest challenger in the Crystal Globe Downhill standings But it is not only Swiss youngsters who are making a name for themselves Norway’s 24-year-old Fredrik Moeller (Atomic) held off Odermatt and 2021 double speed world champion Vincent Kriechmayr (AUT/Head) to claim Bormio’s Super G Once the lot of them have battled down Switzerland and Austria’s landmark speed tracks it will be on to Saalbach for the World Championships (Super G 7 February and Downhill 9 February) Henrik Kristoffersen (NOR/Van Deer) will attempt to add to his two World Championship titles in Saalbach and all the signs are that he will do it in the best of form The Norwegian leads the Slalom Crystal Globe standings and is just a point behind Odermatt in the GS rankings But his biggest challenge may well come from a young teammate too The 23-year-old Alexander Steen Olsen (NOR/Rossignol) started off the season with a bang grabbing a first ever GS triumph in the opener in Sölden He has since been managing a knee injury but expect more fireworks once he is fit The young guns on the women’s side have been just as good – if not better Zrinka Ljutic (CRO/Atomic) was the female Longines Rising Star of last season – and heads this season’s standings too But she has even bigger prizes in her sights now The 20-year-old finally turned her enviable consistency (six top-10 finishes in her opening seven races this season) into glory taking her first World Cup win last time out in Semmering’s slalom Ljutic sits second in the Overall Crystal Globe race while she is third in the Slalom and fourth in the GS rankings but not quite as good as 25-year-old Camille Rast (SUI/Head) It has been a serious season so far for the Swiss flier First in late November she secured a debut World Cup podium A day later she repeated the feat in the GS and then seven days later she grabbed victory in the Killington slalom Not that it has been all about Gen Z in the women’s ranks Twice already this season Federica Brignone (ITA/Rossignol) has broken her own record as the oldest women’s World Cup winner Neither too is her compatriot Sofia Goggia (ITA/Atomic) The speed queen has returned after injury as if nothing had changed In her three races so far she has finished first (Beaver Creek Super G) second (Beaver Creek Downhill) and third (St The woman who succeeded her as World Cup Downhill Crystal Globe champion Conny Hütter (AUT/Head) got the better of Goggia to become the first female skier to win a downhill on Beaver Creek’s iconic Birds of Prey course Lara Gut-Behrami (SUI/Head) has also overcome a challenging start to the season to sit second in the Super G and third in the Downhill standings The trio’s speed races first in Cortina D’Ampezzo (18 and 19 January) and then in Saalbach (6 and 8 February) will be box office Lena Duerr (GER/Head) will be eying up the night slalom in Flachau (14 January) as a chance to become the oldest women’s World Cup winner it is not out of the question that Lindsey Vonn (USA/Head) could pip the German to that accolade The 40-year-old icon has grabbed the limelight by returning to action with an artificial knee Vonn ending 14th in her first start back in a World Cup All eyes will be on her when she goes again in St Lucas Pinheiro Braathen (BRA/Atomic) is another to have lit up the slopes after time away the 24-year-old became Brazil’s first ever World Cup podium finisher when second in the GS in Beaver Creek in December Cruel injury robbed Marcel Hirscher (NED/Van Deer) of the chance to join Braathen in attempting to make World Championship history in Saalbach The five-time world champion picking up a season-ending injury in December Mikaela Shiffrin (USA/Atomic) has also been out of action since undergoing surgery for a puncture wound suffered in Killington in December as she chased her 100th World Cup win the superstar posted a video on 1 January suggesting she would be gently returning to snow “within a week” All best wishes are also with Cyprien Sarrazin (FRA/Rossignol) who was released out of intensive care recently after crashing during training for December’s Bormio Downhill All the above leaves Switzerland well clear at the top of the World Cup Nations Cup Eight wins and 22 podium places across the genders puts them ahead of age-old rivals Austria (two wins and 10 top three finishes) with Norway (top of the combined GS standings) third overall The 21-year-old Eduard Hallberg (FIN/Fischer) is the current forerunner in the men’s Longines Rising Star race Head stand atop of the Constructors’ Championship They lead Rossignol by less than 500 points as with every part of this electrifying season it will be all to play for when action resumes Croatian skier Zrinka Lutić won Sunday's slalom race in Kranjska Gora The race was part of the Alpine Skiing World Cup Lutiq completed the two launches with a time of 1:39.62 minutes while Ana Swenn Larsson of Sweden was third Croatian Lutić has won the World Cup slalom for the second time in a row I just wanted

Croatian skier Zrinka Ljutic made it back-to-back World Cup wins in women’s slalom to take the lead in the standings on Sunday. The 20-year-old Ljutic won her first title at Semmering, Austria last week and quickly followed up with her second at Kranjska Gora. Ljutic was joint-fastest with Wendy Holdener in their first run, then 0.16 seconds faster than the Swiss skier in the second. “I didn’t know how Wendy, how well she skied," Ljutic said. "I just had my own sort of idea and I was really focusing on myself. I kind of decided the tempo of the course of the run, how I want to ski. And I really tried to stick to that vision and I made it, it was enough. So that’s even better." Anna Swenn-Larsson of Sweden was third, 1.19 behind Ljutic. With injured star Mikaela Shiffrin not racing, Ljutic seized the lead in the discipline standings on 309 points, four ahead of former leader Camille Rast, who was fourth, 1.36 behind. Rast maintained her record of not finishing outside the top five slalom placings this season. The Swiss skier won her debut World Cup race in Killington on Dec. 1. Ljutic leads the overall standings on 456 points, nine ahead of Sweden’s Sara Hector, who was sixth after winning the giant slalom the day before. Ljutic, who will turn 21 later this month, said her success seven days earlier spurred her on again. “Especially now after this nice result in Semmingen, I really had a big appetite, I obviously wanted to repeat that and I felt in some sense powerful and dominant,” Ljutic said. “But again, I knew that I cannot now focus on just like the time and the win, I have to do my things before that in order to make possible that it happens. And it happened. So I’m just grateful.” Defending champion Shiffrin, who triumphed in the first two races in the discipline this season, is recovering from abdominal surgery to clean out a deep wound she suffered in a giant slalom crash on Nov. 30 in Killington. In Shiffrin’s absence, Katie Hensien was the highest placed American skier in 12th.

(AP Photo/Giovanni Auletta) Kenny Atkinson went through a winless preseason with the Cleveland Cavaliers and wondered if his team would be any good. And their coach — he was the NBA's best this season. Atkinson is now an NBA Coach of the Year winner, announced Monday night as this year's recipient of the Red Auerbach Trophy. Atkinson led Cleveland to a 15-0 start to the season — one of three winning streaks of at least 12 games this season by his club — and led the Cavaliers to the best record in the Eastern Conference. “I stepped into this,” Atkinson said. “I keep saying that, that I stepped into this. It's a little bit of luck too, right?” J.B. Bickerstaff was second in the voting, after pulling Detroit from the basement to the playoffs. Ime Udoka was third, after guiding Houston's path to ending its five-year playoff drought. All three did elite jobs this season. But none better than Atkinson. All were coach of the year candidates previously. Bickerstaff has gotten votes now in each of the last four seasons, Udoka has gotten votes in all three of his seasons as a head coach and Atkinson finished fifth in the voting for the 2018-19 season, when he coached Brooklyn. This was the best finish in the voting for each of this year's finalists. Atkinson and Bickerstaff both did this in Year 1 of their current stints. Atkinson led Cleveland to a 64-18 record and the No. 1 seed in the East — doing so after Bickerstaff got fired following a run to the second round in Cleveland last season. Bickerstaff was then hired by Detroit and turned a 14-win team into a 44-win team that earned the East's No. 6 seed. Udoka led Houston a 52-30 mark and the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. The NBA Coach of the Year award, like several other honors, was voted on by a global panel of 100 writers and broadcasters who cover the league and cast ballots shortly after the end of the regular season. The other awards that were part of that voting process and have already had their results unveiled: Atlanta's Dyson Daniels winning Most Improved Player, San Antonio’s Stephon Castle winning Rookie of the Year, Cleveland’s Evan Mobley winning Defensive Player of the Year, New York’s Jalen Brunson winning Clutch Player of the Year, and Boston’s Payton Pritchard winning Sixth Man of the Year. Other awards announced by the league since the end of the regular season: Golden State’s Stephen Curry won the Twyman-Stokes teammate of the year award, Warriors teammate Draymond Green won the hustle award and Boston's Jrue Holiday won the sportsmanship award for the second time in his career. The executive of the year will be revealed Tuesday and the league's social justice champion will be revealed Wednesday. Major awards that will be announced later in the playoffs include MVP (either Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Denver’s Nikola Jokic or Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo), plus the All-NBA, All-Rookie and All-Defensive teams.

Ultimately, her first-run lead of over two seconds on Hurt helped ensure her place at the top of the podium. The Slovak's combined winning time was 1:47.62, 0.72 seconds ahead of Duerr and a further 0.15 seconds clear of Hurt who secured her first career World Cup podium placing. Notably, France's Chiara Pogneaux, 24th after the first run with bib number 37, recorded her first career World Cup top-10 finish in any discipline. Latvia's Dzenifera Germane (bib 48) was 12th in just her third World Cup race, while Italian-born Albanian 17-year-old Lara Colturi (bib 55) was just shy of her best finish in 13th. "I am really happy and proud because it was really tough conditions, especially the second run, from the first gate to the finish, was a big fight," Vlhova said of her third Kranjska Gora slalom win. "I just tried to ski as I know, I knew that conditions were going to be hard and I just pushed as hard as I could. When I crossed the finish line and saw the green light, it was just an explosion (of emotions) because it's something different to win in front of many Slovak fans."
