Nicole Hosp is shaping up as a multi-medal threat for the Turin Olympics.
The Austrian, who skied a flawless second run to win a women's World Cup giant slalom Sunday, won for the first time this season -- 12 days before the start of the Winter Games.
Hosp has also gained top-four finishes in slalom, super-G and combined this season, but it was the fourth win of the 22-year-old's career and her first since she broke her ankle two years ago.
"Last season was very difficult with a lot of injuries," Hosp said. "This season started very good but my skiing was not at 100 percent until now."
Hosp was fourth after the opening run. Her two-run combined time was 2 minutes, 33.51 seconds.
Genevieve Simard of Canada finished second, 0.31 seconds behind, and Elisabeth Goergl of Austria was third, 0.57 back.
First-run leader Maria Jose Rienda Contreras of Spain missed a gate in her second run.
Julia Mancuso of the US concluded an impressive weekend with a fifth-place finish. She was runner-up in both Friday's super-G and Saturday's downhill.
Mancuso won a bronze medal in GS at last year's world championships. This was her best result in the discipline this season.
Defending overall World Cup champion Anja Paerson finished sixth and remained atop the GS standings.

Christoph Gruber of Austria enjoyed two victories, winning a men's World Cup super-G and locking up an Olympic berth.
Shrugging off a terrifying crash in Saturday's downhill, Gruber smacked into several gates with force but preserved an 84.5 kph average speed the entire way to record his first victory this season, the fourth of his career.
The Austrian clocked 1 minute, 26.52 seconds on the rough Kandahar course Sunday, a commanding 0.82 seconds faster than second-place Scott Macartney of the US.
* Men: Massimiliano Blardone, Peter Fill, Kristian Ghedina, Manfred Moelgg, Giorgio Rocca, Alberto Schieppati, Hannes Paul Schmid, Davide Simoncelli, Patrick Staudacher, Kurt Sulzenbacher, Patrick Thaler
* Women: Camilla Borsotti, Daniela Ceccarelli, Chiara Costazza, Elena Fanchini, Nadia Fanchini, Denise Karbon, Karen Putzer, Daniela Merighetti, Manuela Moelgg, Lucia Recchia, Wendy Siorpaes
"Today it's like two victories in one. I won the super-G and my Olympic qualification," said Gruber, who pulled out the old skis he wore when he won the super-G last season to race on them again Sunday. "Before coming here I had already ticked the box `No Olympics.' Because you cannot bet on the last super-G in Garmisch just because you've always done well in Garmisch.''
All three of Gruber's super-G wins have come at this classic resort, including last year and in 2001. He also won a giant slalom in Bormio in the 2000-2001 season.
"I had a great run today but I was very fortunate not to have injured myself yesterday when I lost the ski," added Gruber, who lost a board midway through Saturday's race when he was going 110kph. "I tried everything not to fall heavily."
Italian ski team director Flavio Roda announced the host country's 22-person squad for the Turin Olympics on Sunday.
Giorgio Rocca is the top medal hope, having won five consecutive World Cup slalom races earlier this season.
The women's team has struggled this season, with Elena Fanchini's victory in the season-opening downhill one of few highlights.
Italy has won 27 Olympic medals in Alpine skiing.
Daniela Ceccarelli will attempt to defend her super-G gold medal in from the 2002 Salt Lake City Games. Karen Putzer, who won bronze in super-G in the same race, is also back. Downhill specialist Kristian Ghedina will be aiming for his first medal in his fifth Olympics.
