Fischbacher clocked a winning time of 1min 45.81sec to claim her maiden downhill victory, and her second overall from the series following a super-G win in February 2008.

Maze and Suter, the Swiss who claimed her maiden downhill win here on Friday, finished 0.26sec and 0.39 behind respectively in second and third place.

American Lindsey Vonn retained her lead of the downhill standings despite a modest 12th place finish.
