Switzerland's Wendy Holdener defeated American rival Mikaela Shiffrin and claimed a World Cup victory in the slalom at Sestriere on Sunday.
Holdener came from second place in the first run and clocked at one minute and 56.29 seconds, 0.47 seconds ahead of Shiffrin. Petra Vlhova from Slovakia was in the lead after the first run but ended up in third, 0.70 seconds behind Holdener.
"It is amazing. I can believe it, but it is unreal I guess. My second run was the best run I showed in a race actually," Holdener said.
