"Swiss skier Camille Rast earned her first career win in a World Cup giant slalom Saturday and then dedicated her victory to the victims of the fire at a Crans-Montana bar. Rast tapped the black mourning band on her left upper arm twice after she finished her final run to beat second-placed Julia Scheib of Austria by two-tenths."
"The fire in the crowded bar in the Swiss ski resort left 40 people dead and more than 100 injured during a New Year's celebration. Crans-Montana is set to host World Cup speed races for women on Jan. 30-31 and for men on Feb. 1, the last events before the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. Paula Moltzan finished 0.47 behind in third for the American's second podium result of the season."
