Pernilla Wiberg of Sweden, capping a day on which she clinched the World Cup overall and slalom titles, won a slalom race with a scorching second run in Mammoth Mountain, Calif.

Wiberg clinched the overall title, the biggest prize in skiing, with a third-place finish in Friday morning’s super-G, then celebrated her discipline title by coming from second place to win the slalom.

Wiberg put together the only sub-40 second run of the afternoon to win her fourth slalom of the season in 1 minute, 17.90 seconds. Sabine Egger of Austria, the leader after the first run, claimed second in 1:18.15 and Italy’s Lara Magoni was third in 1:18.61.

Five cities from Europe, Africa and South America will compete for the right to stage the 2004 Summer Olympics.

The IOC pared down a record field of 11 candidates by selecting Athens, Greece; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Cape Town, South Africa; Rome; and Stockholm, Sweden, as finalists. Rome remains the front-runner in a race that will conclude Sept. 5, when the International Olympic Committee chooses the winner.
