Heading to the start line Slovenian Maze was already able to boast downhill gold from the 2015 Alpine World Ski Championships, having won the Super-G and giant slalom titles in 2013 and 2011 respectively.

And at 31 years old she now has the complete set as she claimed the only discipline missing from her impressive CV, one that also includes two gold and two silver Olympic medals.

Maze came home in 2:33.37 minutes to earn her second gold of the Championships, joining Anja Parson and Marielle Goitschel as the only women to win world titles in four different events.

And completing the podium in third was Michaela Kirchgasser as she came home in 2:33.72 for just her second World Championship medal.

Meanwhile, Lindsey Vonn, who finished seventh in the downhill, failed to finish after straddling a gate near the top of the slalom course.
