ADELBODEN, Switzerland (AP) — Marcel Hirscher of Austria won a World Cup slalom on Sunday to seize the lead in the overall and discipline standings.
Hirscher, the two-time defending overall champion, sliced through the gates on the steep final pitch to beat Andre Myhrer of Sweden by 0.29 seconds.
Teenager Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway was third, trailing 0.66 behind Hirscher’s combined two-run time of 1 minute, 49.75 seconds.
Felix Neureuther of Germany lost his unbeaten record in 2014 by straddling a gate when poised to challenge Hirscher’s time.
