ADVANCE FOR WEEKEND EDITIONS, JAN. 18-19 - FILE - In this Feb. 14, 2006 file photo, Ted Ligety of the United States, center, is carried by teammates as he celebrates winning the gold medal after the Men's Combined at the Turin 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Sestriere Colle, Italy. He comes across as a mellow, `surfer dude' type, but don't let that fool you: He might be one of the best giant slalom skier in history. (AP Photo/Kevin Frayer, File)
