Tina Maze of Slovenia came home in second while Fabienne Suter, who claimed her maiden downhill win at the same venue on Friday, was third.

Fischbacher's success was the first by an Austrian woman in a World Cup downhill since Renate Goetschl in March 2007.

In the overall World Cup standings, Lindsey Vonn remains on course to retain her crown. She leads Germany's Riesch by 336 points.
