Hirscher storms back to win World Cup GS, Ligety takes 7th
BEAVER CREEK, Colo. — Marcel Hirscher of Austria stormed back from a first-run deficit to win a World Cup giant slalom race Sunday as rival Ted Ligety struggled.
Hirscher finished in a combined time of 2 minutes, 37.30 seconds to show he’s quickly getting back up to speed after breaking his ankle in August. Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway was second, 0.88 seconds back, and first-run leader Stefan Luitz of Germany took third.
It was Hirscher’s 23rd World Cup giant slalom win, which ties him for third most among men.
