Anna Fenninger of Austria kept up the pressure on overall leader Tina Maze with victory in the women’s Alpine combined World Cup race in fog-hit Bansko on Sunday.
Fenninger, the overall No. 2, further narrowed the gap with Maze, winning both legs of the race for a combined time of 2 minutes, 5.06 seconds. Racing back-to-back with Maze in the second slalom run, Fenninger nudged the Slovenian by 0.39 seconds on the day – and trimmed the gap in the World Cup overall standings from 84 to 64 points.
”I didn’t know I could ski so fast in the slalom – so I’m really happy for that,” said the 25-year-old Fenninger, who looked emotional on the podium when the Austrian national anthem was played.
