Hirscher beats Kristoffersen to win World Cup slalom (The Associated Press)

Marcel Hirscher earned his 36th career win on the World Cup circuit Wednesday, edging Norwegian rival Henrik Kristoffersen by 0.21 seconds in a men’s slalom. It was the third time in three slaloms this season that Hirscher and Kristoffersen shared the top-two spots – though the first time with the Austrian on top. ”It’s super cool,” Hirscher said about his rivalry with the 21-year-old Norwegian.
