ADELBODEN, Switzerland - Stefano Gross of Italy won a tight World Cup slalom on Sunday where just 0.03 seconds separated the top three finishers.A first career World Cup victory for Gross denied first-run leader Fritz Dopfer of Germany his first win by 0.02.Overall World Cup leader Marcel Hirscher of Austria extended his standings lead in third, a further 0.01 behind Grosss combined two-run time of 1 minute, 56.70 seconds.At age 28, Gross finally won after three podium finishes in the 2012 season, and a fourth place in the Sochi Olympics slalom last February where he tied with Dopfer just 0.05 off the bronze medal.I am very, very happy, said Gross, who has overcome back injuries. I have worked really hard this summer and this season to reach this result.On a good day for the Italian slalom team, 2010 Olympic champion Guiliano Razzoli placed fourth, 0.55 behind his teammate, equaling his best result in more than three years.Another Italian, 36-year-old Patrick Thaler, was second fastest in the first run but skied out in the afternoon when poised to extend his own World Cup record as the oldest man to finish on a slalom podium.Hirscher now tops the season-long slalom standings after previous leader Felix Neureuther of Germany failed to finish the first run.Earning 60 World Cup points, Hirscher leads Neureuther by 56 in a repeat of their duel last season which the Austrian edged on the final day.The three-time defending overall champion also tops those standings by 212 from Kjetil Jansrud of Norway who skips slalom events.Hirscher said it was a perfect weekend with 160 points after winning the classic giant slalom Saturday, and praised Gross and the surging Italians.Hes a very nice guy, hes good looking, Hirscher quipped, and a very good skier. I think the Italians are getting in shape for the world championships.Dopfer used his No. 1 start bib to be fastest in the morning through steady snowfall and on a tricky race surface.With victory in sight on a clear afternoon, he let a half-second lead slip on the steep final slope and added to a resume of near misses, including five runner-up finishes in World Cup races.Im pretty satisfied and confident with my second place, the 27-year-old German said. I tried everything and pushed really hard.Still, Dopfers consistent season with top-10 finishes in each of his nine races lifted him to third overall, though trailing Hirscher by a distant 330 points.Ted Ligety of the United States is seventh overall after placing 22nd Sunday, 2.02 back.David Chodounsky was the best-placed American in 11th, trailing Gross by 0.96.A 19th place Sunday for Luca Aerni proved the best Switzerland could manage in a signature Alpine meeting for the host nation this weekend, which last won at Adelboden in 2008.The World Cup moves to nearby Wengen where four different Swiss racers have won the classic Lauberhorn downhill in the past six years.

Some South Africans said they were surprised and even shocked when Judge Thokozile Masipa ruled last week that the Paralympic champion was negligent but did not intend to kill when he fatally shot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp through a closed toilet door. Pistorius said he thought a dangerous intruder was in his house; prosecutors alleged he intentionally killed Steenkamp after an argument. Police protection for Masipa has been stepped up since the verdict Friday in the sensational case, South African media reported. The case will return to the global spotlight when Pistorius, who is free on bail, appears before the judge for a sentencing hearing on Oct. 13. In a statement, three legal groups described a "wave of criticism" directed at Masipa that in some cases could border on hate speech, defamation and contempt of court. The comments include allegations that the judge is corrupt, as well as attacks on her race and gender. "In judging, theres a lot of analysis of the information before the court and applying the law to what is before you," Thabang Pooe, a researcher at legal group SECTION27, said Tuesday. "Attacking the judges integrity and making insinuations of bribery or that shes not fit because shes a woman, or that shes black, means that youre breaking down the belief in the law." Masipa, 66, is a former social worker and journalist who became one of the first black female judges in South Africa, which shed white racist rule in 1994.dddddddddddd Her supporters have described her as a symbol of accomplishment in a country where poverty and unemployment remain obstacles for many people. The legal groups, including SECTION27, the Legal Resources Centre and the Centre for Child Law, said people are entitled to disagree with the verdict and that the prosecution can appeal. Prosecutors have said they will decide whether to appeal after sentencing. The sentence for a culpable homicide conviction is at the judges discretion and can range from a suspended sentence and a fine to as much as 15 years in prison. Legal experts have cited five years as a guideline. Meanwhile, South African sports officials have said Pistorius can compete for South Africa again, as long as his running doesnt go against the ruling of the judge. Many legal analysts agreed with the judges ruling that Pistorius could not be found guilty of premeditated murder. But some believe the law supported a conviction on a lesser murder charge on the grounds that Pistorius knew someone -- in his version, a perceived intruder-- was behind the toilet door and also knew that firing four bullets into the door could cause that persons death. James Grant, an associate professor of law at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, said in an online analysis that "there appear to be errors of law" in Masipas judgment. "The effect is that, if the state does appeal, and one may well expect that it will, Pistorius continues to face the prospect of a murder conviction," Grant wrote.
