Overview
- French Olympic champion Clément Noël won on Canalone Miramonti, edging Finland’s Eduard Hallberg by 0.12 seconds, with France’s Paco Rassat third at +0.37.
- After sitting seventh at halfway and 0.41 off the lead, Linus Straßer made costly second‑run errors and finished 14th.
- Straßer said he sees progress after a summer equipment change, stressing the need to link “two complete runs” and expressing confidence.
- Sebastian Holzmann and Anton Tremmel exited in run one, leaving Germany without a top‑ten finisher on the night.
- Four slaloms remain before the Olympics—Adelboden, Wengen, Kitzbühel and Schladming—after another tight contest in a notably unpredictable season.
