 SOELDEN, Austria (AP) - Hermann Maier has had many big victories, and he was ecstatic with this one.
The Austrian edged Bode Miller to capture the season-opening giant slalom Sunday and overtake Alberto Tomba for second place on the World Cup victory list.
"This is a big joy for me," said Maier, who injured his knee while training in New Zealand recently. "I was sitting in second place and watching Bode's run and I thought to myself second place will be great. Then I saw his time was in red and I knew I had won. I flipped out."
