By Martyn Herman ROSA KHUTOR, Russia (Reuters) – American Ted Ligety regards himself as one of the favorites for Wednesday’s giant slalom which, judging by events so far in the Caucasus mountains, means he is in for some disappointment. From the moment spiky-haired Austrian Matthias Mayer set the cat amongst the pigeons with a gold in the men’s downhill, the shocks have come thick and fast on Rosa Khutor’s Olympic pistes. Swiss Dominique Gisin, without a sniff of a World Cup podium all season, came from nowhere to share gold after an unprecedented dead heat with Tina Maze in the women’s downhill. Her similarly obscure compatriot Sandro Viletta eclipsed Ligety, Bode Miller and Aksel Lund Svindal to win the men’s super-combined and on Sunday Norway’s Kjetil Jansrud claimed a thrilling victory in the super-G. While German favorite Maria Hoefl-Riesch nailed the women’s super-combined and Austria’s Anna Fenninger finally got her skis running to win the super-G, the most predictable aspect of the first week of racing has been the spring-like sunshine.
