Neureuther wins 10th World Cup race

MADONNA DI CAMPIGLIO - German skiing ace Felix Neureuther recorded his 10th World Cup victory with victory in the men's slalom. The 30-year-old  won in a time of 1min 40.57sec. His compatriot Fritz Dopfer was second, 82 hundreths of a second adrift, with Sweden's Jens Byggmark third, 86hundreths slower. Austria's triple overall World Cup champion Marcel Hirscher could finish only seventh to remain second in the overall World Cup standings, 36 points behind Norwegian Kjetil Jansrud. Neureuther, son of former ski champions Christian Neureuther who won six World Cup slalom races and Rosi Mittermaier who won 1976 Olympic gold in both the downhill and slalom as well as silver in the giant slalom, was third after the first leg but he produced a superb second leg.
