Finland's Virpi Kuitunen took second place, 1.9 seconds off the pace, while Norway's Marit Bjoergen came in third (+4.9) in the 1.2 kilometre sprint.
The victory comes after Majdic's 10th place in Germany's Duesseldorf and 8th in Sweden's Gaellivare, the two previous events in the 2006/2007 competition.
Vesna Fabjan, Slovenia's second competitor at the event placed 27th in qualification and ended her run in the quarterfinals.
