Zahrobska wins slalom in Aspen


Sarka Zahrobska won the World Cup slalom event in Aspen as Austria's Kathrin Zettel clinched a second podium finish of the weekend.

Zahrobska held a lead of over a second after a flying first run and, though the Czech was more circumspect second time around, she held off Zettel's compatriot Marlies Schild by 0.58 seconds with a combined time of one minute 43.45sec.

Zettel, second in yesterday's giant slalom, completed the top three to go top of the overall season's standings at this early stage.

The 23-year-old leads Maria Riesch - who finished fifth today, one place behind younger sister Susanne - by 44 points after moving to 220 overall.

The focus shifts to the speed events next weekend as the women's tour moves to Canada's Lake Louise resort for two downhills and a super G.
