LONDON, Canada, March 17 (Yonhap) -- Musing on her latest accomplishment in an already illustrious figure skating career, South Korean star Kim Yu-na said here Sunday she thinks she's aided in no small part by her natural talent.

Slovenian Tina Maze brought her remarkable season to a suitable end here on Sunday winning the final race of the World Cup campaign the giant slalom. The 29-year-old overall World Cup champion - who was recording a record 24th podium finish of the season - timed 2min 16.67sec over the two legs to finish ahead of Tessa Worley of France (2:17.02) and Swiss skier Lara Gut (2:18.05).

Germany's Felix Neureuther won the final World Cup slalom of the season here on Sunday as he pipped Crystal Globe winner Marcel Hirscher into second. Austrian world champion Hirscher was already guaranteed of winning both the slalom and overall World Cup titles. Croatia's Ivica Kostelic finished third. A month after winning silver at the World Championships, Neureuther won the fifth World Cup race of his career and his second this season. And he has set his sights on dethroning Hirscher next year.
