The story
Benjamin Raich won the men's giant slalom at the FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup stop in Yongpyong, South Korea, on 26 February 2000. The official FIS classification places Michael von Grünigen second and Joël Chenal third, making this one completed race and one underlying archive report.
How it unfolded
Benjamin Raich (Austria) recorded 2:27.56 in the published classification. Michael von Grünigen (Switzerland) was listed with +0.25, while Joël Chenal (France) took third with +0.79. These labels reproduce the result format shown by FIS; point-based finals are not rewritten as elapsed times.
The wider picture
FIS's event page separately confirms the men's giant slalom programme, World Cup category, gender, venue and date. The historical competition date remains distinct from iintroo's archive-addition timestamp, and the report does not infer season standings or a championship title from this single race. No event photograph is reproduced because exact republication rights were not established.
