Slovenian Zan Kranjec notched up just his second-ever World Cup victory when he won the men's giant slalom at Adelboden on Saturday. The 27-year-old sat in sixth spot after the first run, 0.24sec off the pace, but held his nerve on the second to clock a combined total of 2min 27.90sec. Croat Filip Zubcic was second, at 0.29sec, with France's Victor Muffat-Jeandet and Norway's Henrik Kristoffersen sharing third (+0.64). There was drama through to the end as Italian Luca de Aliprandini, leader after the first run so last to go of the top 30 in reverse order in the second, slipped out halfway down the course whilst still in the green. lp/bsp
