Kranjska Gora: Croatia's Zrinka Ljutic held her nerve to edge Wendy Holdener for victory in the women's World Cup slalom in Kranjska Gora on Sunday.
Ljutic, who won the Semmering slalom last weekend, and her Swiss rival had been tied as leaders after the first leg.
But the Croat did just enough on the second run down the Podkoren slope to clinch victory, her combined time of 1min 39.62sec meaning she finished 0.16sec ahead of Holdener.
Sweden's Anna Swenn Larsson rounded out the podium, at 1.19sec.
"I'm speechless," the 20-year-old Ljutic said after her victory in the Slovenian resort.
