Ted Ligety ‘02: Two-Time World Cup Giant Slalom Champion
Ted Ligety has done it again. Yesterday in Garmisch, Germany, Ted tied for third place in giant slalom and sewed up his second World Cup giant slalom title in three years. In fact, due to mistakes made by Ted’s closest competitors during the first run, Ted had secured the title before the second run started although, apparently, no one told him about it. “I would have gone harder had I known that,” he said, “but I had a safe second run and was still pretty excited to get on the podium.”
Way to go, Ted! Now you just have to get used to your new introductory soundbite for interviews: “Ted Ligety, 2006 Olympic gold medalist and two-time World Cup Giant Slalom Champion.” Ah, that has a nice ring to it.
