BEAVER CREEK, Colo. Michael Dickson Jersey . - Ted Ligety caught up to his boyhood idol on a day when no one could come close to catching up to him, even with a broken wrist.The American used a powerful second run Sunday to capture his 23rd career World Cup giant slalom race.With that, Ligety tied Switzerlands Michael von Gruenigen for second all-time in the discipline. Only fitting, since Ligety was a big fan of von Gruenigen growing up in Utah.To have the same amount of World Cup wins as him is surreal, Ligety said. Its really cool.In fourth place after the opening run, Ligety found speed where others couldnt on a steadily deteriorating course. He finished in a combined time of 2 minutes, 34.07 seconds. Alexis Pinturault of France was second, 0.18 seconds behind, and Austrias Marcel Hirscher ended up third.Ligety had four metal screws inserted into his left wrist after an accident during training Nov 22. He didnt take any time off after surgery, though. Instead, he trained without a pole for a little bit, since he couldnt hang on to it. Ligety said that actually helped him develop more balance going around gates.Hirscher joked that it really didnt matter if Ligety raced with one pole — or even one ski — he would still be fast.Ted is definitely one of the best, no, Im sure, the best GS skier in the world, Hirscher said. It impresses me a lot. It is really great for all young skiers that they can watch him and see. It doesnt matter if he skis with one pole, two poles, one ski or no skis, he just does it.Benjamin Raich of Austria led after the first run, but it was a tightly bunched field, with eight racers all within a second.Ligety hammered down a course he knows so well, staying out of the grooves in the soft snow due to the warm weather and building more and more speed. He even dragged that surgically repaired wrist on the snow around several turns, because its something hes always done and he wasnt going to let the injury get in the way of his performance.When he crossed the finish line in the lead, the crowd erupted. Ligety pumped his ski pole, knowing his time would be difficult to match.Next up was Hirscher, who made several mistakes.Then Pinturault, who wasnt as clean up top as Ligety.And finally, Raich, the final skier of the day, who lost his lead early and struggled as he slipped to fourth.It was Ligetys fifth giant slalom win in Beaver Creek. It also drew him closer to Hirscher and Pinturault in the overall GS race. Ligety has won the discipline four of the last five seasons.Hirscher and Pinturault, those guys are amazing skiers for sure, said the 30-year-old Ligety, who won gold at the Sochi Games in the GS. Those guys are guys I love to watch ski. To get in front of them is always nice, especially being the old guy.Hirscher leads the GS standings and is second in the overall race to Norways Kjetil Jansrud, who won the downhill on the Birds of Prey course Friday and was runner-up in the super-G Saturday.If I want to have a chance against Kjetil, I have to be better than today, said Hirscher, who trails Jansrud by 172 points. I have to win more races than Kjetil. Right now, hes the man to beat. Im not in position.This was certainly a solid weekend for Pinturault, who also finished third in the super-G.Im really happy, Pinturault said before leaving to catch a plane.American Tim Jitloff had a solid showing as he wound up ninth, while David Chodounsky finished 17th. Bode Miller didnt race this weekend as he recovers from back surgery. He hopes to return in time for the world championships in February at Beaver Creek.Ligety had a rough showing in October during a season opening GS in Soelden, Austria, when he finished 10th in a race won by Hirscher. But Ligety cleaned up some technical issues, and it showed on his final run.I was confident to ski the way I wanted to, Ligety said. It was a really fun day.Now, the only name ahead of Ligety on the all-time GS list is Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark, who had 46 wins.Any chance of catching up to him?What hes done is pretty unattainable, Ligety said. I would say Stenmarks thing is a pipe dream. Seahawks Youth Jerseys . Portuguese sides Benfica and Porto also advanced to the last eight while Basel overcame an early red card to win 2-1 at Salzburg and progress from a last-16 second leg that was briefly suspended because of crowd trouble. Lyon, Valencia and AZ Alkmaar will also be in Fridays draw in Nyon, Switzerland, where the team to avoid will be Juventus -- even though the Italian champions made heavy work of their all-Italian last-16 match against Fiorentina. Wholesale Seahawks Jerseys . Bilbaos first victory in four rounds lifted it four points clear of Real Sociedad and kept it in command of Spains last Champions League berth for next season. In contrast, Betis was left 11 points from safety after a dismal performance that at times bordered on self-destruction amid some questionable refereeing decisions. http://www.authenticseahawksshopnfl.com/ . -- Billy Andrade hasnt played much competitive golf over the past four years. SANDY, Utah -- Alvaro Saborio continued his torrid scoring pace and Real Salt Lakes defence clamped down on the Houston Dynamo for a 1-0 victory Saturday night. Saborio converted a penalty kick in the 37th minute for his fifth goal in three games and Nick Rimando recorded three saves for his seventh shutout of the season. Real Salt Lake improved to 12-7-5, and its 41 points are tops in Major League Soccer. "I think we were a little flat in the first half," Real Salt Lake coach Jason Kreis said. "All-in-all Im really pleased. I think we got the result in a different way tonight and I think thats important heading into the stretch, you have to feel like you can win multiple ways." Salt Lake used a 4-3-3 formation against the Dynamo (9-7-6), a departure from its typical 4-4-2 set. The result was a domination in possession -- 64 per cent in the first half --- and its first victory in four matches. Rasheem Green Jersey. Saborios goal came after teammate Olmes Garcia was taken down just inside the penalty box by Houstons Adam Moffat. Saborio beat goalkeeper Tally Hall in the lower right corner of the net for his ninth goal in 11 league matches this season. Real Salt Lakes defence was untested most of the night, thanks largely to the advantage in possession. Houston did manage to put pressure on Rimando late, with five shots in the final 10 minutes. Real Salt Lake defender Nat Borchers made a spinning takeaway against Will Bruin in the final minutes to thwart another opportunity. Houston had won three of four overall entering the match, but fell to 3-5-3 on the road. Dynamo midfielder Brad Davis took three shots, but was otherwise held in check by the back line of Borchers, Chris Wingert, Carlos Salcedo and Tony Beltran.
