Meillard, winner of the Alpine combined event on Saturday (March 11), led after the first run and never looked back on his way to posting an unrivalled overall time of 2 min 25.23sec.

The 20-year-old won by a margin of 0.57sec over nearest challenger Tim Haugan of Norway, while France’s Victor Guillot was a further 0.31 seconds back in third.

Victory for Meillard has earned him a starting spot for the FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup Finals, which are set to take place in Aspen in Colorado from Wednesday (March 15) to Sunday (March 19).

"It just feels great to have taken two gold medals in Åre," said the winner, who now has five Junior World Championship medals to his name.

"Today’s giant slalom was my big goal and I am grateful I managed such a strong performance in both runs.

"I will ski the slalom tomorrow and then move on to Aspen for the World Cup Finals."

Meillard’s compatriot Camille Rast topped the podium in this evening's women's slalom event, securing the first medal of her career.

The 17-year-old, who finished 12th in yesterday's giant slalom, clocked an overall time of 1:42.81 to beat runner-up Ali Nullmeyer of Canada by 0.09 and third-placed Chiara Mair of Austria by 0.41. 

"I was very disappointed with my giant slalom performance a day earlier but I knew from the alpine combined, where I posted the fastest slalom run, that I could ski fast," Rast said. 

"Today is special for me because I skied the way I wanted to."

Tomorrow's men's slalom event rounds off the Championships.
