Britain’s Dave Ryding storms from 15th to third with flying second run in Italy - ‘A lovely early Christmas present’

Dave Ryding had another day to remember at the FIS World Cup as he flew down the Madonna di Campiglio slalom track in a night race during his second run to go top of the leaderboard. The British veteran eventually finished third to take bronze, an astonishing achievement after sitting 15th after the first run. “He gives himself a lovely early Christmas present,” said the Eurosport commentator.
