Moscow - The excitement was on in the Russian capital when Austria's skiing ace Marcel Hirscher and Germany's surprise winner Lena Duerr were crowned champions of the night in a tight head-to-head slalom battle on 29th January.

Andre Myhrer and Ivica Kostelic turned second and third on the men's side while Veronika Velez Zuzuvola and Mikaela Shiffrin rounded out the ladies' podium.

Next to Munich (GER), Moscow was the second city event on the schedule of the 2012/13 Audi FIS Ski World Cup tour.
