Second slalom win for France's Lizeroux

02 Mar, 2009

France's Julien Lizeroux produced a blistering second run to win a slalom in Kranjska Gora on Sunday and secure his second World Cup victory. Lizeroux, who won silver medals in the slalom and super-combined at the world championships in Val d'Isere last month, jumped from fourth after the first run to take top spot in an overall time of one minute 40.11 seconds.
It was Lizeroux's second victory this season after his success in Kitzbuehel in January. Italian Giuliano Razzoli was the fastest in the morning but had to settle for second place, 0.34 seconds adrift. It was his best result in a World Cup slalom, bettering his third place in Zagreb in January. Germany's Felix Neureuther took advantage of another collective failure by the Austrians to steal third place, 0.56 off the pace.
