LIENZ, Austria (AP) — Frida Hansdotter held on to her first-run lead to win a women’s World Cup slalom on Tuesday and extend her lead in the discipline standings to 100 points.
The Swede finished in a combined time of 1 minute, 47.02 seconds to edge Wendy Holdener by 0.07 for her third career victory.
Petra Vlhova of Slovakia, who won the previous slalom in Are, Sweden, two weeks ago, posted the fastest second-run time and finished 0.43 behind in third.
Hansdotter, the only skier to reach the podium in all four slaloms this season, leads the discipline standings with 320 points, followed by Vlhova with 220 and Mikaela Shiffrin with 200. The Olympic champion from the United States won the first two races this season but is out recovering from a knee injury.
