Ski World Cup
Men’s slalom in Hafjell – LIVE from 9.30 am
Fabio Gstrein missed out on his second career podium finish in sixth place in the Hafjell slalom. The Tyrolean, who was in third place at the halfway point, fell back, mirroring the Sunday performance of his ÖSV colleagues, who collectively lost places in the second run. Switzerland's Loic Meillard, in top form at the moment, completed the Hafjell double of giant slalom and slalom victory and thus prevented a "Norwegian" quadruple victory in his home country.
Meillard prevailed despite a tricky situation with the ski pole between his legs. Behind the French-Swiss racer were Atle Lie McGrath (+0.21 sec.), ex-Norwegian Lucas Pinheiro Braathen (+0.47), Timon Haugan and Henrik Kristoffersen, who goes into the final race in Sun Valley with a 47-point lead over Meillard in the slalom classification. Austria's men's skiers are now 40 races without a win, while the slalom athletes have just three podium places after eleven races this season.
Here are the results:
The not quite fit Manuel Feller retired with good split times in the lower part of the first run, the race was also over quickly for Dominik Raschner.
Raschner, Matt and Strolz take part in the World Cup final
Marco Schwarz, 17th in the first run, slipped out in the second run and has not collected enough points for the final of the best 25 slalom racers. Johannes Strolz, Joshua Sturm, Adrian Pertl and Michael Matt continued their modest seasons, although Raschner (23rd), Matt (24th) and Strolz (25th) still made it to the World Cup final with a lot of stomach ache.
