Imperious Ligety wins Kranjska Gora giant slalom

American skier Ted Ligety competes during the first run of the Audi FIS World Cup Giant Slalom race in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia on March 8, 2014Kranjska Gora (Slovenia) (AFP) - America's giant slalom Olympic champion Ted Ligety recorded his 22nd World Cup victory on Saturday as he took the latest race in the event in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia. The 29-year-old -- also a two-time world champion in giant slalom -- was winning for the sixth time in the Slovenian resort as he timed 2min 30.80sec. "I have always liked this course, it has a lot of personality and is very demanding," said Ligety. Austrian veteran Benjamin Raich narrowly missed out on his 37th World Cup success as he took second, 0.18sec behind -- his first podium placing in two years -- while young Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen claimed his first podium finish in the discipline as he finished third, 0.25 slower.
