KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia -- Tina Maze earned her second gold medal of the Sochi Olympics on Tuesday, winning from the front in a rainy and snowy giant slalom. Marnick Vermijl shirts . Wearing bib No. 1, Maze skied through the gates cleanly to defend her big first-run lead and finish 0.07 seconds ahead of Anna Fenninger of Austria. Defending champion Viktoria Rebensburg of Germany was third, trailing 0.27 behind Mazes two-run time of 2 minutes, 36.87 seconds. American teenager Mikaela Shiffrin placed fifth in her Olympic debut. Maze added giant slalom gold in the rain to her tie for victory in a sunbathed downhill last week. The 30-year-old Maze also won giant slalom silver at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Chris Smalling Red Jersey . Same for his dazzling puck-handling skills and the vision that sees the plays before they happen. Tom Lawrence White Jersey . -- Ben Brust scored 18 points, Sam Dekker added 17 and No.CELADNA, Czech Republic -- Oliver Fisher of England won the Czech Open on Sunday, shooting a 3-under 69 to finish two strokes ahead of Mikael Lundberg of Sweden to earn his first European Tour victory. Fisher totalled 13-under 275 at Prosper Golf Resort to improve on his previous best result of two runner-up finishes. "Its been a tough year," said the 22-year-old, who has made only fourth cuts this year. "Its massive to win here. ... Getting your first win is obviously special, but especially as Ive struggled so far this season. My form has been horrific, but golfs a funny game. Hopefully this is the start of big things for me." Starting the round even with Steven OHara, Fisher had consecutive birdies on the seventh, eighth and ninth holes. He had threee bogeys on the back nine, but offset that with birdies on the 14th, 16th and 17th to keep the lead. Tom Lawrence shirts. "I went through a lot of different emotions out there today," Fisher said. "I hit it well on the range this morning, so that gave me confidence. I played the front nine really well, then got a bit unlucky on the tenth. After that, the wheels started to fall off a little bit." Lundberg, chasing his third victory, also shot a 69. Fabrizio Zanotti of Paraguay (66) was third at 279, a shot ahead of Gary Boyd of England (72). OHara collapsed on the back nine with four bogeys, including the last three holes, in a 75. He finished equal fifth with fellow Scot David Drysdale, Englands Steve Webster and Lorenzo Gagli of Italy at 281. ' ' '
