SOELDEN, Austria, Oct. 23 (UPI) -- The United States continued its fast start to the Alpine World Cup season Sunday with Ted Ligety's victory in the men's giant slalom at Soelden, Austria.
Ligety, the defending champion in the event, turned in a combined-run time of 2 minutes, 22.00 seconds, and second-place Alexis Pinturault of France came in at 2:22.29.
"I was skiing fast in training, but that really doesn't count for anything until you actually do it in a race," Ligety said. "So to finally (prove) how fast you are skiing is an added bonus that goes along with winning the first race of the year."
The victory followed American Lindsey Vonn's first place in Saturday's women's giant slalom at the same venue.
Philipp Schoerghofer of Austria placed third and American Bode Miller placed ninth with a 2:23.32. Carlo Janka of Switzerland was in second place behind Ligety after the first run, but Janka slipped to fourth with a disappointing second run.
