( CNN ) -- Austria has produced many of the world 's greatest skiers , and another made her mark on the history books in front of her home crowd on Sunday . Marlies Schild claimed the 35th World Cup slalom victory of her career in Lienz to take sole ownership of the record from Switzerland 's Vreni Schneider . It also put the 32-year-old behind only compatriot Annemarie Moser-Proll 's 36 downhill titles for the most in any World Cup discipline . `` It is just amazing . I did n't really expect it after my first run that was far from perfect , '' said Schild , who was sixth after the opening leg . `` Even after crossing the finish line in the second run , my feeling was n't that good . I thought that was not going to be enough for the win . The upper part did n't work out the way I wanted but I pushed in the lower section and it paid off . '' It was the 2011 world champion 's second successive slalom victory after topping the podium in the French Alps earlier this month . `` Tying the record in Courchevel took some pressure off , '' she said . `` But I was still very nervous today . It is always special to race at home . I am extremely happy right now . '' American teenager Mikaela Shiffrin , who won the world title in February , followed up her third place in Saturday 's giant slalom at the same venue by taking second ahead of Germany 's Maria Hofl-Riesch . It kept the 18-year-old two points ahead of Schild in the slalom standings , while Hofl-Riesch now has the same advantage over previous leader Tina Weirather in the race for the overall World Cup title . Meanwhile , Aksel Lund Svindal moved 195 points clear in the men 's World Cup with the 25th victory of his career in Sunday 's downhill in Bormio . The Norwegian , third at the Italian course last year , finished 0.39 seconds ahead of Austria 's defending champion Hannes Reichelt . Canada 's Erik Guay , who won the last downhill in Val Gardena , was third . `` Bormio is a tough race . Usually it is decided on the last section ; when everyone is tired you have to try and push that bit extra , '' Svindal said . `` I am going south to do some windsurfing and relax on the beach for four days over New Year 's . I want to have some fun before the World Cup continues in January . It 's healthy for me to walk barefoot on the beach and relax a bit after being in the cold all the time . ''
Maria Schild wins a record 35th World Cup slalom title on Sunday . Austrian moves past Sabine Fischer with her second successive victory . She is now targeting compatriot Julia Moser - Proll 's first in any discipline . Aksel Lund Svindal extends men 's lead with a victory in Bormio .
