I cant understand how I am so much ahead.Neureuther said he looking forward to an amazing month of slalom skiing.January is very important, the German said. There are so many classic races. Its so fun for us skiers when so many people come out to watch us.The race started with a moments silence for two junior skiers from the U.S. team who were killed in an avalanche in Austria on Monday, while the American flag was flying half-mast in the finish area.American skier David Chodounsky, who was third after the opening leg, straddled a gate and failed to finish his second run.Chodounsky paid tribute to his late team members Ronnie Berlack and Bryce Astle, pointing to a tape on his helmet carrying the text Remember BA + RB.Its terrible. The entire U.S. ski team is mourning for them, Chodounsky said. Were just skiing for them today. They were great guys.Chodounsky missed out on a career best finish, coming seventh in a slalom in Val dIsere, France, last season.I am happy with it, I knew I was skiing well and I could be in there somewhere, Chodounsky said. I was hoping for it. I knew it could happen but I was just waiting for it to happen in a race. I have been training very well so I wanted to show it.American teammate Will Brandenburg was the fastest starter in the opening run and led Hirscher by 0.28 at the first intermediate time, but he lost balance and tumbled backward with his skis up in the air before sliding into commercial banners besides the course.I was just going to go for it, thats all I wanted to do, said Brandenburg, who was unhurt. I wanted to fight and thats what I did.The mens World Cup travels to Adelboden, Switzerland for a giant slalom on Saturday, followed by a slalom the next day.

The Panthers exercised the fifth-year option on Newtons contract, meaning the former No. 1 draft pick will be with the team at least through the end of the 2015 season.
