ARE, Sweden (AP) β Austrian skier Marcel Hirscher overcame a first-leg deficit to edge out German skier Felix Neureuther and win a World Cup slalom race on Sunday for his 26th career victory.
Hirscher trailed Neureuther by.25 seconds after the morning’s first run but beat him by .10. Russian Alexander Khoroshilov finished .15 behind for a career-best third place.
Hirscher, who beat the American skier Ted Ligety by 1.22 seconds to win Friday’s giant slalom, is one of only five Austrian men to have won 25 career races and moves level with Franz Klammer.
Ligety was third after the first run but lost control of his skis midway down the second after taking a turn too wide and failed to finish.
So did Olympic champion Mario Matt of Austria, fourth quickest in the morning.
