Vonn falls in slalom

Sandrine Aubert of France won her first World Cup race by taking Saturday's slalom after first-run leader Lindsey Vonn of the United States clipped a gate in the second heat and was eliminated.

That meant Vonn failed to clinch the overall World Cup title for the second straight season, but she will still take a big lead into next week's World Cup finals in Are, Sweden.

Maria Riesch of Germany won the overall slalom title by finishing fifth.

Frida Hansdotter of Sweden was second and Nicole Hosp of Austria took third in Saturday's slalom.
