LIENZ, Austria (AP) — Anna Fenninger of Austria won a women’s World Cup giant slalom Saturday for her fifth career victory.

Fenninger was second after the first run but overtook leader Jessica Lindell-Vikarby of Sweden in the second to win in a combined time of 2 minutes, 17.00 seconds. Lindell-Vikarby was 0.50 seconds behind.

It’s the third year in a row that Fenninger has won a World Cup race on Dec. 28.
