World champion Loic Meillard posted the fastest time in the opening run of the season's penultimate men's World Cup slalom Sunday as the Swiss skier hopes to boost his chances of winning the discipline title. Meillard led Lucas Pinheiro Braathen by 0.34 seconds, followed by Fabio Gstrein of Austria one-tenth further back in third. Meillard has eight top-five results without a win in slalom this season, though he took gold at the worlds in Austria in February.
