Aamodt’s Bid Slides Downhill

Switzerland’s Michael Von Gruenigen and Italy’s Deborah Compagnoni won giant-slalom races in the World Cup Finals, but Norway’s Kjetil Andre Aamodt finished in a tie for seventh place in the men’s race. That left him 70 points behind overall standings leader Luc Alphand and in need of either a first or second in today’s slalom to catch the Frenchman.
