COURCHEVEL, France (AP) — Greek racer AJ Ginnis is positioned to earn his country an astonishing result at the Alpine skiing world championships. Ginnis was tied with Lucas Braathen of Norway in second position 0.13 seconds behind Austrian leader Manuel Feller in the opening slalom run in the final event of the worlds. Greece has never won a medal at world championships in any Olympic sport on snow or ice. Ginnis already became the first skier from Greece on a World Cup podium when he finished second in the last slalom before the worlds.
