SÖLDEN, Austria (AP) — Olympic giant slalom champion Marco Odermatt lived up to his billing as the favorite for the overall World Cup title, dominating the season-opening race Sunday and beating the field by more than seven-tenths of a second for his 12th career win. The Swiss skier had a near-flawless first run and overcame a few mistakes in his second on the steep glacier in the Austrian Alps to finish .76 seconds ahead of Zan Kranjec of Slovenia. Henrik Kristoffersen finished .97 behind in third, ahead of Norwegian teammate Lucas Braathen, who dropped from second after the opening run to fourth.
