Zettel wins after Schild mistake


Austria's Kathrin Zettel won the women's World Cup slalom after first-run leader Marlies Schild failed to finish the second run.

Schild led her Austrian team-mate by more than a second after the first run, but Zettel claimed her second victory in two days after her compatriot, skiing last, missed a gate on the decisive second run in Maribor, Slovenia.

Zettel, winner of yesterday's giant slalom, clocked a combined time of one minute 42.98 seconds to triumph by 0.71secs from Slovenia's Tina Maze and third-placed Maria Riesch of Germany.
