WENGEN, Switzerland (AP) — Alexis Pinturault of France soared from seventh place after the first run to win a World Cup slalom on Sunday.
Pinturault was almost a half-second faster than everyone else in the afternoon to finish 0.34 ahead of Felix Neureuther of Germany.
First-run leader Marcel Hirscher of Austria was third, trailing 0.63 behind Pinturault’s total time of 1 minute 42.87 seconds.
Hirscher missed a chance to regain the overall standings lead from Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway, who skips slalom events. He extended his lead in the slalom discipline standings.
