SÖLDEN, Austria (AP) — American skier Ryan Cochran-Siegle is coming off his career best World Cup season. He earned more points than ever before in both downhill and super-G and topped it off with an Olympic silver medal. Now he plans to start scoring points also in giant slalom again. His first chance to do so is the season-opening race Sunday on the Rettenbach glacier in Austria. Cochran-Siegle says “I have less pressure for myself this year.” But he is planning to play it smart and wants to make sure investing more time in GS does not affect his main events.
