Marcel Hirscher, a six- time overall

-

World Cup champion, won the men’s alpine combined slalom at the Pyeongchan­g Games. In Jeongseon, Hirscher’s combined two- run time was 0.23 seconds faster than silver medallist Alexis Pinturault of France. The 28- year- old Austrian is a three- time Olympian who had previously won only a silver medal despite never finishing below fifth in any race. “I’m super happy because now this stupid question has gone away, if I’m thinking that my career is perfect without a gold medal,” Hirscher said.
