FILE - In this Sunday, March. 17, 2013, file photo, Slovenia's Tina Maze cartwheels after winning the women's alpine skiing giant slalom at the World Cup finals in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. The biggest puzzle in Alpine skiing approaching the Sochi Olympics was working out what happened to Tina Maze. After her historically good 2012-13 season, 11 World Cup wins, record points total, one world championships gold medal , the 30-year-old Slovenian fit perfectly as a potential Winter Games star. Maze celebrated victories with her exuberant trademark, a cartwheeling handspring across the snow. This season, she was clearly unhappy as her winless streak stretched into January, unwilling or unable to explain what she described in her blog as "mediocre results." All that changed last Saturday, Jan. 25, 2014, when Maze raced to an elusive first win in a downhill at Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. (AP Photo/Alessandro Trovati, File)
