Henrik Kristoffersen won a men's World Cup night slalom on Tuesday for his sixth victory of the season.
Kristoffersen, who was third after the opening run, defeated Marcel Hirscher of Austria by 0.61 seconds, and last year's winner, Alexander Khoroshilov of Russia, by 0.77. Kristoffersen and Hirscher also came 1-2 in Kitzbuehel two days ago.
Hirscher was only 22nd with a 2.59-second deficit after his goggles fogged up in the opening run but the Austrian posted the fastest time in the second leg.
First-run leader Felix Neureuther of Germany straddled a gate and failed to finish.
A trio of Canadians failed to complete the first run: Trevor Philp, Phil Brown and Erik Read.
Kristoffersen extended his lead in the discipline standings, while Hirscher overtook Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway on top of the overall standings. Svindal is out for the season following knee surgery.
