Ireland's Cormac Comerford finished in 23rd place as Norway's Sebastian Foss-took men's slalom gold in the final race of the Cortina d'Ampezzo Alpine skiing World Championships on Sunday.

Comerford maintained his top-25 finish with his final run. 

Austria's Adrian Pertl, surprise leader after the first run on a clear and sunny morning in the Italian resort, had to settle for silver with Norway's Henrik Kristoffersen taking the bronze.

The second leg started with the top 15 from the first run going in reverse order, rather than top 30, to try and lessen the effect of warm temperatures.

Foss-Solevaag was the first Norwegian to win the world slalom title since Tom Stiansen in Sestriere in 1997, also on Italian snow, and his country's sole individual champion of 2021.

He also helped Norway to team gold last Wednesday.
