Italian Deville wins Kitzbuehel slalom

Cristian Deville of Italy won the men\'s World Cup slalom here on Sunday ahead of Austria\'s Mario Matt and Ivica Kostelic of Croatia. Deville, sitting in fourth position after the first run, clocked 1min 39.19sec over the two legs, with first-run leader Matt at 0.72sec and reigning World Cup overall and slalom champion Kostelic a further 0.06sec adrift. Kostelic dominated the traditional combined event, which takes the slalom times along with Saturday\'s downhill results. Despite finishing a lowly 50th in the downhill, the Croat\'s podium showing in the slalom saw him notch up an aggregate time of 2min 55.27sec, 4.55sec ahead of Switzerland\'s Beat Feuz. Another Swiss racer, Silvan Zurbriggen, was in third at 4.80sec.
