Double Olympic champion Marcel Hirscher clinched a seventh overall World Cup title with victory in the slalom at Kranjska Gora on Sunday. The Austrian 29-year-old can no longer be caught by his closest competitor, Norway's Henrik Kristoffersen, after building a 289-point lead in the overall standings.
Kristoffersen does not compete in the speed disciplines meaning he can only claim a maximum of 200 points at the season's finale in Are, Sweden. "Ten years ago I got my first World Cup podium finish here," Hirscher, who won his 57th race on Sunday, told Austrian television.
