PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The Latest on the Pyeongchang Olympics (all times local):
Marcel Hirscher of Austria has taken a big first-run lead in the Olympic men's giant slalom and is well positioned for his second gold medal of the Pyeongchang Games.
Hirscher was 0.63 seconds faster than Alexis Pinturault of France. They finished 1-2 in the Alpine combined on Tuesday.
A Norwegian is third, but it isn't Henrik Kristoffersen, who is Hirscher's main rival in the World Cup.
