GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany –Anna Fenninger of Austria overshadowed the favorites to win a super-G race Sunday, while overall World Cup winner Tina Maze was placed under police protection after organizers received a death threat against the Slovenian.

Maze finished fourth in the race and had two bodyguards close by after the race. The threat came in an email received Saturday afternoon, after Maze had won the downhill race and broken the points record for a season.

“That’s sad. If somebody is strong and showing good performances and perfect in the thing you are doing, there are people who want to disturb you,” Maze said. “I guess it’s part of the game but it didn’t disturb me that much.
