BEAVER CREEK Olympic champion Ted Ligety reinforced his status as America's greatest giant slalom racer Friday, winning his third straight world championships gold medal in GS with a scintillating second run on a hill he has owned many times before.
It was Ligety's second medal here and the first gold medal for the U.S. at these championships. The other U.S. medals here are a silver and two bronze. Ligety took bronze in combined.
No other man has won three world championships gold medals in GS consecutively or otherwise.
This one was one of his most precious wins, though. He hit a rock in the season's first World Cup GS race that ruined an edge on his ski and caused him to finish 10th. He won here in December and followed that up with two second-place finishes, but in the last GS before the world championships break he was seventh.
"It's really hard to rank them, but this one is a little more emotional than some of the other ones, just because this year has been a little more of a struggle," Ligety said. "In 2013 (the last world championships), I was winning everything, so it felt like, not a given but that I should be winning it really easily. Same with the Olympics, I was skiing great before that and knew I should be able to win. This one was a bigger question mark, as far as how I was skiing and how I could handle it.
"To be able to come through and pull it off is awesome."
Ligety has owned this slope in GS, winning World Cup races four years in a row and five of the past six years.
"It's an arcers hill, so you have to be really clean on the edge all the way down," Ligety said. "I love racing in the U.S. That's one of the real anomalies for us, being able to race here in the United States. We're always in Europe, so having that extra comfort level of being closer to home and having friends and family support you is huge."
Longtime rival Marcel Hirscher of Austria took the silver medal and Alexis Pinturault of France the bronze. Those three racers have been the best in GS for several years usually in the order they finished Friday.
"Ted was today in a league of his own," said Germany's Felix Neureuther, who finished fourth.
Ligety was fifth-fastest in the morning run, 0.24 of a second behind Hirscher, but he crushed the second run, beating Hirscher's second run by 0.69 of a second and Pinturault by 0.89.
Ligety was in first and Pinturault second when Hirscher entered the starting gate for his second run.
"For me it was really important to know that Ted had an outstanding run," Hirscher said. "It was definitely easier for me to make a decision in the starting house. I talked to myself and I thought, 'Two chances, no medal or go for it 100 percent.' I have skied definitely my personal 100 percent and I have given everything. Ted is skiing just brilliant, especially here."
