17-year-old Lettner snatched gold by the narrowest of margins. She tied on 18 points with Slovenian Vita Lukan, 17, but won due to her superior performance in the Speed and Boulder disciplines.
Lettner’s Austrian compatriot Laura Lammer, also 17, completed the podium by finishing with a total of 20 points.
