Hirscher wins WCup slalom

Marcel Hirscher recovered from a disappointing opening run to win a men’s World Cup slalom in dense snowfall in Val-d’Isere, France, yesterday. The six-time overall champion from Austria was more than half a second behind in fifth after the first leg. He changed his equipment before posting the second-fastest time in the final run. He beat Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway by 0.39 seconds, while Andre Myhrer of Sweden was another 0.01 behind in third. Stefano Gross of Italy, who led after the first run, dropped to sixth. It was Hirscher’s 47th career win and first in a slalom race since breaking his left ankle in a practice run in August. Kristoffersen also finished second in the season-opening slalom in Levi, Finland, in November, and has taken the lead in the discipline standings with 180 points, 46 clear of Hirscher. The men’s World Cup next travels to Val Gardena, Italy, for speed races on Friday and Saturday.
