Brazil's Pinheiro Braathen leads GS after 1st run, seeking South America's 1st

BORMIO, Italy (AP) --- Brazilian ski racer Lucas Pinheiro Braathen leads the
Olympic giant slalom Saturday after the first of two runs and is in position to
win South America's first medal at a Winter Games.
There are a host of lower-tier racers still to finish the first run in a field
that includes 81 competitors, with many representing nontraditional ski
nations. The final run will be held later Saturday. The top 30 will go in
reverse order based on time, meaning Pinheiro Braathen races at No. 30.
The first skier on the Stelvio course, Pinheiro Braathen took advantage of the
smooth surface to finish in a time of 1 minute, 13.92 seconds. His fast run
resulted in a 0.95-second lead over Swiss racer Marco Odermatt, who's the
defending Olympic champion in the event.
