MARIBOR, Slovenia: Germany's Maria Riesch destroyed her rivals to win a fourth successive slalom and strengthen her lead in the overall World Cup standings on Sunday.
The race in Maribor was almost over after the first leg when Riesch left her nearest rival, Austria's Kathrin Zettel, trailing by 1.29 seconds.
Riesch only had to play it safe in the afternoon run to secure a new victory, the 10th of her career and fourth in a row after wins in La Molina, Semmering and Zagreb.
