Maier wins second Olympic giant slalom gold in Nagano
Hermann Maier claimed his second Nagano gold in four days after Alberto Tomba crashed out early. Stefan Eberharter took silver for Austria and Michael Von Gruenigen earned bronze for Switzerland as Tomba limped from a fall at the top of the run. Tomba’s Nagano debut ended after eight gates, while Pernilla Wiberg fell in the women's slalom and Hilde Gerg edged Deborah Compagnoni for gold. Germany led the medal table as biathlon, Nordic combined, figure skating, and hockey actions unfolded across the Nagano Games.
