WENGEN, Switzerland (AP) — Loïc Meillard leads the first run of a World Cup slalom at Wengen in what shapes up as another Switzerland-Norway duel. Meillard was 0.45 seconds faster than Henrik Kristoffersen whose Norwegian teammate Lucas Braathen was third. Braathen is the World Cup slalom standings leader and has 0.48 to make up in the second run in the afternoon. Norway aims to sweep the three-race weekend. Aleksander Aamodt Kilde won in downhill and super-G ahead of Swiss runners-up. A Norway team coach will set the second-leg gates. A tricky first-leg course on soft snow left only five racers within 1.6 seconds of Meillard.
