Ted Ligety gave the United States the Olympic gold medal that Bode Miller couldn't deliver Tuesday night, putting together the two fastest slalom runs of the day to win the men's combined and break the Americans' bad luck in Alpine skiing.
The 21-year-old skier from Park City, Utah, had a combined time of 3 minutes, 9.35 seconds, for the downhill and two slalom runs. Ivica Kostelic of Croatia won the silver medal and Rainer Schoenfelder of Austria the bronze.
