PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — Marcel Hirscher has turned his domination in the giant slalom into a second gold medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics.
The 28-year-old Austrian star extended his first-run lead to win by a huge margin of 1.27 seconds over hard-charging Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway. Kristoffersen rose from 10th-fastest in the morning with the quickest time in the second run.
Hirsher won his first Olympic gold medal in the Alpine combined last week, and that took a lot of pressure off him.
Still, he was never seriously challenged Sunday as he continues to compile his historically great season.
