Ligety’s historic Soelden hat-trick
Print Edition
Ted Ligety became the first skier to win three successive races at Soelden, Austria, yesterday, clocking a time of 1 minute, 59.50 seconds in the giant slalom.
The 29-year-old American, who led after the first run, produced a blistering performance in the season-opening race for men beating Frenchman Alexis Pinturault (2:00.29) and Austrian Marcel Hirscher (2:00.52). The triple world champion — who won by an astonishing 2.75 seconds last year — equalled Austrian legend Hermann Maier’s three wins at Soelden. Ligety, however, is the first person to win them in consecutive seasons. “It’s a nice confirmation that I’m on the right way,” Ligety said.
