WENGEN, Switzerland (AP) — Atle Lie McGrath protected his first-run lead and completed a Norwegian sweep of the podium in a World Cup slalom on Sunday.
McGrath celebrated victory just as he did posting the fastest time in the morning run — kicking up his right ski to flip it end over end and catching it, in the style of Swiss former downhill star Didier Cuche to delight fans in the finish area.
