Meillard wins men's giant slalom World Cup finale
Loic Meillard led teammate Marco Odermatt to a Swiss one-two in the men's giant slalom at the World Cup finals at Sun Valley, Idaho, on Wednesday.
Meillard, who won the world championship titles in slalom and team combined last month, clocked a winning aggregate time of 2min 15.21sec.
The victory was Meillard's seventh career World Cup win and his fourth in the giant slalom.
Meillard, who also won at last year's World Cup final, grabbed the lead after the opening run in 1:10.35 with Brazil's Lucas Pinheiro Braathen second, 0.53sec adrift.
Swiss star Odermatt -- who has already clinched the overall, downhill, super-G and giant slalom titles -- came in second at 0.95sec.
Norway's Henrik Kristoffersen was third in 2:16.35 with Pinheiro Braathen eventually finishing fourth (2:16.54).
