Norwegian in stunning slalom win
Print Edition
HENRIK Kristoffersen of Norway won the penultimate World Cup slalom race of the season in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, yesterday after favorite Marcel Hirscher blew his chances on the first run.
In third place after a first leg dominated by Mattias Hargin of Sweden, Kristoffersen produced a near flawless second run to win by 00.24 seconds over Italy’s Giuliano Razzoli with Hargin having to settle for third at 00.86.
Overall World Cup leader Hirscher nearly fell on the first leg and lagged over two seconds off the pace.
He went for broke second time out and produced an outstanding effort but it was only good enough for sixth place.
The consolation for the Austrian, looking for his fourth overall World Cup title, was that he increased his lead atop the overall standings over second-placed Kjetil Jansrud of Norway.
Germany’s Felix Neureuther leads the slalom overall standings on 569 points, ahead of Hirscher (514), with Kristoffersen (427) a distant third.
With only next week’s season-ending race in Meribel left, Hirscher also holds an insurmountable 185-point lead over Frenchman Alexis Pinturault in the giant slalom rankings.
