Hirscher, who becomes the most successful Austrian slalom skier in World Cup history with his 15th win in the discipline, posted a time of 57.26 seconds on his first run.

That bested Felix Neureuther�s effort by nearly nine tenths of a second, putting him in contention for his fifth victory of the season.

His second run was comparatively slow by his standards � at 58.70seconds � but Neureuther had to settle for second place after only a marginal improvement on Hirscher�s time.

Sebastian-Foss Solevaag�s combined time of 1:57minutes was good enough for third � his first-ever podium.

But eyes remain fixed on Hirscher, who leads the overall standings by 52 points with 676 in total.
