The American

"Still
one more round to go and everything can happen and it's a tight race,"
said Hector.
"I have
to stay focused. I've been practising a lot on some techniques that I really
wanted to improve on.
"It
feels like it's working better and better, so that's cool!" Hector added.
The second
giant slalom in two days at Courchevel replaces a race in Killington in the US
