Marcel Hirscher sealed the World Cup giant slalom title and took another step toward the overall prize when he finished second to France's Alexis Pinturault in Kranjska Gora on Saturday.

Pinturault claimed his second win of the season after the Kitzbuehel super-combined, beating the Austrian three-time World Cup champion by 0.68 seconds.

Hirscher now leads Pinturault by 185 points in the giant slalom standings with only one race left at the World Cup finals in Meribel next week.
