Marcel Hirscher wins GS for record 5th-straight time at Alta Badia


Marcel Hirscher dominated both runs to take a record fifth-straight win in the Alta Badia giant slalom on Sunday in La Villa, Italy. "Once I felt good with my setup in the second run, I could really attack and turn on the turbo," Hirscher said. At the finish, Hirscher let out a big scream then took off his right glove and held up his hand and five fingers to celebrate the record. It was the 24th GS win of Hirscher's career, matching him with Ligety for second-most all-time behind Swedish legend Ingemar Stenmark's 46. Ligety won four straight in Beaver Creek, Colorado, from 2011-14 and Stenmark also had four in Adelboden, Switzerland, from 1979-82.
