Slovenia's Tina Maze bagged her second Alpine skiing gold of the Sochi Games on Tuesday when she won a thrilling women's giant slalom from Austrian arch-rival Anna Fenninger.

In tricky weather conditions that included heavy snow, torrential rain and fog, the 30-year-old Slovenian clocked a combined total of 2 minutes 36.87 seconds over the two runs in Rosa Khutor.

Maze had to share downhill gold with Switzerland's Dominique Gisin last week after a first-ever Winter Olympic Alpine dead heat.

"This season's plan was to show my best here. My focus in training was on the Olympic Games," said Maze, who won two silvers, in super-G and giant slalom, at the 2010 ­Vancover Winter Olympic Games.
