Neureuther wins slalom

Felix Neureuther of Germany won the men’s World Cup slalom in Yuzawa, Japan, yesterday, edging out Andre Myhrer of Sweden.

Neureuther, fifth after the first run, clocked 56.96 seconds in the second run to finish 0.05 seconds ahead of Myhrer. Marco Schwarz of Austria was third, 0.24 off the pace.

“It was a tough race today,” said Neureuther. “It started raining in the second run. You guys were so unlucky with the weather, one meter of fresh snow and then it became so warm and you guys did a really great job.”

Neureuther’s father Christian was on the podium here 41 years ago. “It’s of course a very, very good feeling,” said Neureuther.

With his first slalom World Cup win of the season, Neureuther moved into third place in the standings with 323 points, 393 behind leader Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway, who was seventh. Alexis Pinturault of France was disqualified during the second run.
