Austrian Marcel Hirscher tied countryman Hermann Maier for second on the career men’s Alpine skiing World Cup wins list with his 54th on Tuesday.
Austria became the first nation to notch 500 World Cup wins.
Hirscher, the six-time reigning World Cup overall champion, captured a night slalom in Schladming, Austria.
Norwegian rival Henrik Kristoffersen was second, .39 of a second behind and complaining that snowballs were thrown around him in his second run. Swiss Daniel Yule took third.
Kristoffersen appeared to tell Hirscher in the finish area about the snowballs.
