The wind is blasting 19km/h out of west, but the big question is going to be about that fog, which had such an impact yesterday, causing several delays as race organizers halted the race. 18:10 Miller, who won the overall World Cup contest last year, was third, while Rahlves was 11th and Maier 5th in last season's Giant Slalom point race. 2004-2005 Giant Slalom standings 18:10 Daron Rahlves, who won yesterday's downhill contest, failed to finish in the first Giant Slalom of the season a full month ago at Soelden, while Bode Miller, who was the 2-man in yesterday's Rahlves-Miller 1-2 punch, finished second to Austrian legend Hermann Maier in Soelden. 18:06 Of course in yesterday's downhill action Beaver Creek Colorado witnessed an American 1-2 triumph in a slightly shortened race (300-metres trimmed of the Birds of Prey course to be nearly exact), but the Giant Slalom prove something different. 09:00 Hello, and welcome back to Eurosport.com/uk's LIVE coverage of the 2005/06 World Cup season. Beaver Creek hosts the third event and second Giant Slalom of the season. Join us at 19:00 CET tonight for Men's Giant Slalom.
