GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany (AP) — Ted Ligety won the World Cup giant slalom title and Carlo Janka won the overall World Cup title.

Janka, the Swiss Olympic champion, won Friday’s giant slalom race to clinch the overall title with one race remaining.

Ligety wound up sharing third place, good enough to wrap up the title he also won in 2008.

Ligety led the standings and his closest rivals, Massimiliano Blardone and Marcel Hirscher, flopped in the first run. Blardone went off course and finished well behind, while Hirscher was disqualified for starting too early.
