Hirscher defeated Germany 's Felix Neureuther after recording a time of 2 minutes 07.74 seconds to win the overall World Cup title for the third year in succession . Hirscher showed little sign of nerves in Lenzerheide , Switzerland , as he kept his cool throughout to overturn a five point deficit . `` I knew it would be all or nothing , '' Hirscher told reporters . `` Only the result counted . `` I laid down a marker on the first leg and on the second we saw that the course-setting made little difference . `` It did n't really suit me , but I was still quick . '' Hirscher added : `` With this slalom crystal globe , I 've fulfilled another wish and goal , my season 's perfect . '' Olympic slalom champion Mario Matt finished third and claimed 60 points to take him up to sixth in the overall standings . In the women 's event , Austria 's Anna Fenninger won the giant slalom race after finishing 0.25 seconds ahead of teammate Eva-Maria Brem . The victory earned Fenninger both the small and big globe as the season 's top overall skier after seeing off Sweden 's Jessica Lindell-Vikarby . `` It was an unbelievable day for me , '' Fenninger told the competition 's official website . `` There are a lot of emotions for me today .
