WORLD CUP GIANT SLALOM
Men
VAL D'ISERE, France (AP) -- World Cup overall leader Bode Miller won a giant slalom for the second time this season Sunday, rallying from fourth place in the opening leg.
Miller, who took the season-opening giant slalom but failed to complete the one in Beaver Creek, Colo., covered the shadowy course in a combined time of 2 minutes, 20.66 seconds. The American needed to make up 0.30 seconds after the first run.
Lasse Kjus of Norway finished second in 2:20.95, climbing from fifth place. Hermann Maier of Austria was third in 2:20.99. Daron Rahlves, Miller's U.S. teammate, was 15th.
Miller now leads the overall standings with 630 points, a whopping 291 ahead of second-place Maier. Miller tops the giant slalom standings with 200 and is followed by Kjus at 180 and Maier at 156.
Kjus won the giant slalom in Beaver Creek last month for his first victory in the discipline since winning in Kranjska Gora in 1996.
Maier led after the opening run and look poised to win his first giant slalom in almost four years.
Women
ZAUCHENSEE, Austria (AP) -- Finland's Tanja Poutiainen captured her second straight slalom Sunday to regain the lead in the overall World Cup standings.
She completed the Kaelberloch course in a combined time of 1 minute, 39.88 seconds, edging Austria's Marlies Schild by 0.03 seconds. Croatia's Janica Kostelic was third in 1:40.53, followed by Sweden's Anja Paerson in 1:40.94.
Sarah Schleper of the United States finished seventh, making the top 10 for the first time this season. She trailed teammate Kristina Koznick after the opening run. Koznick finished 10th while another American, Resi Stiegler, was 12th.
Paerson briefly moved to the top of the overall standings Saturday after finishing better than Poutiainen in the super giant slalom. But Poutiainen's victory Sunday allowed her to reclaim the lead. The Finn has 441 points, with Paerson at 393 and Kostelic at 383.
Poutiainen was third and first in the pair of slaloms in Aspen, Colo., at the end of November. This was her fifth top-three finish of the season.
Schild, a slalom specialist, had the fastest time in the second run to record her first top-three finish this season. She said she slept for only a couple of hours the night before because of an upset stomach.
Kostelic, who trailed the winner by 0.65 seconds, prefers to ski in icy conditions and was upset about the condition of the slope.
