The Austrian skier had also just toppled Mikaela Shiffrin.
By triumphing at the world championships on Saturday, Liensberger ended the American’s record streak of four straight slalom titles.
Shiffrin was the first to come over and congratulate Liensberger. She hugged her and then stepped back when she saw a TV cameraman approaching.
This time, the stage belonged to Liensberger.
“It felt like flying a little bit, just getting faster with every gate, all the energy into each turn,” said Liensberger, who was fastest in both runs to beat overall World Cup leader Petra Vlhova of Slovakia by one second.
