Alpine skiing: Maze cruises to women's combined win

12/7/2012 1:19:12 PM

Slovenia's Tina Maze cruised to a crushing victory in the women's World Cup super-combined event here Friday, but American Lindsey Vonn bombed out of the second slalom leg.

Maze posted the lead time in the morning's super-G, clocking 1min 19.06sec in cold, overcast conditions on perfect snow.

The 29-year-old then held her nerve to also record the quickest slalom in 42.70sec, handing her a combined total of 2:01.76.

It was the third victory of the season for the reigning world giant slalom champion who has already won two giant slalom races in the Soelden opener and then in Aspen.

She now heads the overall standings on 497 points from German Maria Hoefl-Riesch (369).

Austrian Nicole Hosp finished second at 0.88sec, with teammate Kathrin Zettel completing the podium, a further 0.20sec adrift.

American Vonn, who claimed a second consecutive three-race sweep in Lake Louise last weekend, was sitting in fourth at 0.27sec after the super-G, but failed to hold her line in the slalom and did not finish.

Alpine skiing: Maze wins season-opening giant slalom

10/27/2012 12:46:20 PM

Slovenia's Tina Maze won the ladies' opening giant slalom here Saturday with in third a sensational first World Cup podium for Austrian Stefanie Koehle.

The 29-year-old Maze finished in a total time of 2min 31.41sec, ahead of Austria's Kathrin Zettel in 2:31.83.

Koehle, 26, grabbed her first podium with a time of 2:33.12.

Her best World Cup result to date had been a sixth place in the giant slalom in Lienz, Austria last December.

Maze's victory was her second in Soelden after 2005.

United States ski star Lindsey Vonn, who won here last year, went out in the second run, as did defending giant slalom World Cup winner Viktoria Rebensburg of Germany.

Liechtenstein's Tina Weirather and Italy's Federica Brignone also failed to finish as visibility made conditions difficult.

The second run in the afternoon, initially scheduled for 12:45pm (1045GMT), had had to be delayed due to fog and eventually started an hour later than planned.

Gregor Schlierenzauer

6/19/2009 7:00:00 PM

Despite his young age, this Austrian ski-jumper has already established himself as the man to beat in Vancouver 2010.

Famous uncle

Gregor Schlierenzauer was born on 7 January 1990 in Innsbruck, to a family with an auspicious Olympic history. His uncle is Markus Prock, who won three Winter Olympic medals in men's luge. Schlierenzauer was born deaf in one ear, but that never hindered his ski-jumping prowess – he started training for the event at the age of eight.

Boy to man

In February 2006, Schlierenzauer won the Junior World Championship in Kranj, Slovenia. This caught the attention of the Austrian professional team’s coach, who chose Schlierenzauer to compete in the World Cup. He came 24th on his World Cup debut, at the Holmenkollen ski festival in March 2005.

Early successes

In December 2006, Schlierenzauer won his first World Cup event in Lillehammer, Norway, becoming one of the youngest jumpers ever to win there. He also won in Oberstdorf, Germany, and at the Four Hills Tournament, eventually taking fourth place in the World Cup 2006-2007 overall standings.

World dominance

Since the 2006/07 World Cup, Schlierenzauer has established himself as the world’s number one ski-jumper, equalling records for consecutive victories and for victories in one season, setting a new record for podium finishes in one season, and winning four World Championship gold medals.
