Soelden, Austria - Daniel Albrecht won the men's alpine skiing season-opener on Sunday when he dominated a giant slalom ahead of fellow-Swiss Didier Cuche.
Albrecht clocked a combined total of 2 minutes 15.78 seconds from two runs on the glacier course to claimed his second career win.
Cuche had 2:15.92 and Ted Ligety of the US placed third, far off the pace in 2:17.03 minutes.
Chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth lauded the century scored by Sourav Ganguly at Mohali against the Australians and asked the southpaw to come up with more hundreds in his last series so that he goes out on a high.
Speaking with the media persons, Srikkanth said, “I am very happy Ganguly is doing so well. He still has two more matches to go.”
"I will be very happy if he gets centuries in the next two matches and goes out on a big high," added Srikkanth.
London, Oct 25: British Formula One sensation Lewis Hamilton has insisted that he will be positive in his bid to become champion in Brazil.
The McLaren ace, who only needs to finish in the top five to take the title, said: “Fundamentally, I’ll approach this race the same way I’ve approached the previous races. Obviously, my aim for Brazil is slightly different from the other grand prix because I don’t need to win the race.”
