In the men's slalom Austrian ski stars shone brilliantly on the World Championship Alpine Skiing firmament.
Not only did Marcel Hirscher grab the Gold by 68/100th of a second over his team mate, newcomer Manuel Feller who, in turn, outdistanced Felix Neureuther of Germany by 25/100th of a second, but he lead the Austrian team to the overall nations cup.
With 3 Golds, 4 Silvers and 2 Bronze, Austria defeated Switzerland in the total medal count with 9:7.
Canada and the USA garnered 3 medals each for 4th place.
It was a wonderful competition.
