( CNN ) -- Marcel Hirscher continued his red-hot streak with a stunning victory at the Moscow parallel slalom Tuesday . The Austrian consolidated his lead at the top of the overall World Cup standings after overcoming Sweden 's Andre Myhrer in the men 's two-leg final . Hirscher , who also won at Kitzbuhel on Sunday , is now 214 points ahead of Norwegian rival Aksel Lund Svindal in the overall standings , and has all but assured himself victory in the race for the slalom 's crystal globe . Hirscher turns it on for the Terminator . It was the second city event of the World Cup season , which is based in the mountain resorts of Europe and North America , and Hirscher made amends for being beaten by Felix Neureuther in Munich on New Year 's Day . `` All in all I was ahead by less than half a second , '' Hirscher told reporters . `` It 's very tough to win each race against so many great racers , but I was lucky today . The weather is cold and today there were almost perfect conditions for this competition . `` It was a good race for me but if some more spectators were to come to watch the race next year it would be really great for us . '' The win was Hirscher 's sixth of the season and 18th of his career , a feat which is certain to give him a huge lift going into the World Championships at Schladming , Austria , which start on February 4 . `` It 's a totally different event than what we normally ski , '' Hirscher said of the Moscow race , for which big ramps are constructed . `` If I had to compare it with my victory in Kitzbuhel , it might be less difficult to win in an event where there are 16 opposed to over 60 skiers , plus there was so much pressure on me for that victory which I was missing from Kitzbuhel . `` But , here you only have one chance to give 100 % , things are so tight that unless you step up your game from heat to heat -- you are out ! '' Svindal sets the Alpine speed standard . Meanwhile , Germany 's Lena Duerr won the women 's slalom after edging past Slovakia 's Veronika Velez-Zuzulova . `` I tried to keep myself focused during my every single race tonight and it paid off as I managed to win the event , '' Duerr told reporters . `` I 'm really happy with my performance here . '' Slovenia 's Tina Maze , who leads the World Cups standings , suffered a surprise defeat in the quarterfinal by Switzerland 's Wendy Holdener .
