ADELBODEN, Switzerland - Overall World Cup leader Marcel Hirscher of Austria swept to victory in a giant slalom on Saturday, denying Alexis Pinturault an emotional win for France.Hirscher extended his morning lead to finish in a combined two-run time of 2 minutes, 39.11 seconds, beating Pinturault by 1.13.Pinturault was among several French racers who wore Je Suis Charlie messages on their helmets, showing support for their home country after a traumatic week of terrorist incidents.After crossing the finish line as provisional leader, Pinturault pointed to the slogan. Standing on the podium in the post-race ceremony, he held up a Je Skie Charlie message.For me it was important to show my solidarity, the 23-year-old Olympic bronze medallist said. Its a little bit complicated to understand everything, but this could happen in Switzerland one day. You never know when this attack will happen.Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway finished third, trailing 1.64 behind Hirscher.Olympic and world champion Ted Ligety of the United States placed seventh, 1.86 back.Hirscher got his fifth career win at Adelboden, where first-run leads are difficult to defend in fading light. His task was made tougher by a rutted, softening snow surface on a day of 10 C (50 F) temperatures.I think I have done a pretty good job today, said Hirscher, describing the steep final slope as the toughest five GS gates in the World Cup calendar.Hirschers fourth win in five races this season earned 100 points to extend his lead in the discipline standings to 138 over five-time champion Ligety. Three GS races are scheduled in March.In the overall points race, Hirschers sixth win this season lifted him 152 points ahead of Norwegian Kjetil Jansrud, who failed to finish. Jansrud skied out midway down the second run and swiped in frustration at a safety fence with his right ski pole.On a testing week for the French and American teams, they combined to place seven men in the top 20 Saturday.U.S. team prospects Ronnie Berlack and Bryce Astle were killed Monday in an avalanche at the teams European training base in Soelden, Austria.There definitely is (a different mood) by our entire team right now but not in a bad way, said Tim Jitloff, who was 2.47 back in 14th.We celebrate the guys that lost their lives but we also know that those guys would want it that we continue doing what were doing here and not hold back, Jitloff told The Associated Press. Because they loved doing this stuff and so do we, and thats how were going to do this.The classic Adelboden GS —watched by a noisy 29,000 crowd Saturday — is the last in Ligetys specialist event before defending his world championships title Feb. 13 on home snow at Beaver Creek, Colorado.Still, Hirscher shapes as the gold medal favourite after three straight wins since Ligety won the World Cup GS at Beaver Creek last month.Hirscher will be the favourite Sunday in the Adelboden slalom, which he has won for the past three years.

However, they could be close. The team had second interviews with Los Angeles Clippers associate head coach Alvin Gentry and assistant Tyronn Lue on Friday, meetings that were expected to include Cavs owner Dan Gilbert. Gentry and Lue are among at least a dozen candidates contacted by the club since Brown was fired on May 12 following a 33-49 season, ending his second stint with the club. While Gentry and Lue appear to be the co-favourites to become Clevelands coach in three years, neither of them has been offered the job and the Cavs search will extend into next week. Cleveland has scheduled an interview with former Maccabi Tel Aviv coach David Blatt, who announced Thursday he was resigning from his job with the European champion to take a coaching job in the NBA. Blatt did not specify which team he was joining, but said he has not been offered the Cavs position. Blatt also has been approached by Golden State to be an assistant under new coach Steve Kerr. The 55-year-old Blatt was first contacted by the Cavs last week, but he has known new Cleveland general manager David Griffin for several years. Blatt is considered an offensive mastermind, and hes been on the radar of several NBA teams. He acknowledged his interest in returning to the U.S. -- he was born in Massachusetts and played at Princeton -- while leading Russia to a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics. Blatt said he was leaving Maccabi to "follow my dream." He led the club to a stunning upset over Real Madrid in the European Championships, a victory that touched off massive celebrations in Israel. If the Cavs decide to hire him, Cleveland fans would probably not have the same reaction because Blatt is unknown outside hoops circles and hed be an unconventional choice. Earlier this week, the team met with Charlootte assistant Mark Price, a four-time All-Star point guard in Cleveland who remains one of the most beloved players in franchise history.dddddddddddd Former Memphis coach Lionel Hollins, Bulls assistant Adrian Griffin, former Chicago coach Vinny Del Negro also had interviews with the club, but its not known if any of them will get a second look. Gilbert and Griffin understand the importance of landing the right coach as the Cavaliers enter a significant summer. The club owns the No. 1 overall pick in this months draft and the Cavs are in the process of evaluating the top college prospects. Kansas centre Joel Embiid visited Cleveland earlier this week and the Cavs gave him a thorough medical exam and worked out the 7-footer. Jayhawks forward Andrew Wiggins and Duke forward Jabari Parker are scheduled to meet with the Cavs next week. Embiid has been touted as a franchise-changing player, but there are medical concerns about the 18-year-old, who only started playing basketball a few years ago in his native Cameroon. He missed the NCAA tournament last season with a stress fracture in his lower back, and the Cavs wanted to make sure hes healthy before they considered taking him. The Cavs are not confirming player visits until the day they take place. And while they juggle the coaching search and various options with the top pick, including a trade, the Cavs must also decide whether to offer All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving a maximum, five-year contract extension next month. Irving has given mixed signals about his commitment to Cleveland, and it certainly hasnt helped that the Cavs have been in disarray since he arrived. The team was expected to get to the playoffs last season under Brown, who was fired for the first time four years ago by Gilbert. Maybe the next coach can not only inspire Irving, but get the Cavs back on track. First, though, theyve got to find him.
