After the first slalom run at the Ski World Cup, a Frenchman leads. Linus Straßer is also good. However, the defending champion is behind.

The last German hope for a medal at the Ski World Cup lies on Slalom-Ace Linus Straßer. On Sunday, the DSV star already performed very well in the first round and even undercut the time of the currently leader from France, Clément Noël (0: 59.23) in the upper section of the route.

From the vertical lost street and did not come from the edge twice. Nevertheless, he is currently in fifth place (+0.77) and has a good chance of making it even further forward in the second round. Straßer was annoyed at the finish line, but still waved the fans.

The Swiss Loic Meillard (+0.19) is currently behind Noël. In third place, but not far from Straßer, the Norwegian Atle Lie McGrath (+0.64) can currently be found. His team -mate Timon Haugan (+0.70) is also just before the German. Defending champion Henrik Kristoffersen (+1.59) is in eleventh place. The Swede Kristoffer Jakobsen resigned and was then so angry that he smashed his sticks.
