Austrian Anna Fenninger pipped Slovenian rival Tina Maze by 22 points to defend her overall World Cup title Sunday after storming to victory in the season-ending giant slalom.
Maze went into the last event of the World Cup finals with a narrow 18-point lead over Fenninger.
But the Austrian pulled out all the stops in bad visibility down the Roc de Fer piste to win the giant slalom in an aggregate time of 2min 26.91sec, 0.38sec ahead of teammate Eva-Maria Brem, with Maze in third at 0.46sec.
The result saw Fenninger not only leapfrog Maze to the top of the overall standings, but also allowed her to claim the smaller globe for the discipline's best performer over a thrilling season.
