Italy’s Deborah Compagnoni returned to the top of the medal podium for the first time since the 1992 Winter Olympics, winning a World Cup super-giant slalom race in Morzine, France.

Compagnoni won the super-G gold medal at the Albertville Olympics, but two days later she tore left knee ligaments in the giant slalom.

At Morzine, Compagnoni had a run of 1 minute, 12.66 seconds, edging super-G world champion Katja Seizinger of Germany.
