Kristoffersen wins Wengen slalom

Kristoffersen set the pace in the first run and held off Italy's Giuliano Razzoli to win by 0.30 seconds on a changed course due to the lack of snow in the Swiss resort.

Italy's Stefano Gross was third.

Kristoffersen, who leads Hirscher by 140 points, is third in the overall World Cup standings, behind Austria's Hirscher and fellow Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal.

Svindal won the downhill at Wengen while Kjetil Jansrud won the combined, making it a Norwegian clean sweep.

Next stop for the men is Kitzbuhel, starting on Tuesday, where a super-G, a combined a downhill and slalom are planned.

In a women's giant slalom in Flachau, Germany's Viktoria Rebensburg topped the podium for the first time this season.
