Rebensburg lay in second place following the first run, behind Eva-Maria Brem of Austria, but skied superbly to overhaul the deficit and post a winning time of 2:29.82 minutes.

Brem actually dropped to fourth by the end of the second run as home favourite Ana Drev took silver with Tina Weirather of Leichtenstein claiming bronze.

Rebensburg's ten giant slalom victories match the number won by Martina Ertl-Renz – a German record – and the 26-year-old will be expecting to overhaul her compatriot in the near future.
