"&lt;p&gt;               &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; BORMIO, Italy (AP) -- The International Ski Federation is tweaking its Olympic qualification rules to allow racers like Ted Ligety and some high-profile Austrians to compete in the super-combined at next month's Sochi Games.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; FIS secretary general Sarah Lewis tells The Associated Press that instead of requiring at least three super-combi finishes over the qualification period of this season and last, it will allow three super-combis and/or downhills.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Ligety has three downhills and one super-combi - his gold-medal performance at last season's world championships - in the qualifying period.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Austrian skiers Anna Fenninger and Kathrin Zettel have also qualified under the new parameters.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; However, Benjamin Raich has only two finishes in those events and needs one more before the Jan. 19 deadline.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Injured skiers will be dealt with separately.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Copyright 2014 Associated Press.
