Norway's newcomer Kjetil Jansrud (24) captured third place in the Kranjska Gora grand slalom event on Friday. American Ted Ligety won for the third year in a row, ahead of Austria's Marcel Hirscher.
This was Jansrud's second podium spot after another third place in Adelboden a year ago. First run winner, Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal (27), had to settle for fourth place. Even though he finally missed the podium by 0.31 of a seconds Svindal showed, with the fastest time in the first leg, that he was back in form ahead of the Vancouver Olympics after influenza forced him to miss a few races earlier this month.
