CHAMONIX, France - Henrik Kristoffersen showed glimpses of his best slalom skills Sunday, winning the last World Cup men s slalom race before the world alpine ski championships.
The Norwegian had an attacking, fluent opening run, and defied worsening course conditions in the final to land his second victory of the season.
Most of the top-ranked racers from the opening leg struggled on the rapidly deteriorating La Verte des Houches course, with the surface getting softer and softer as the sun came out in the afternoon after days of rain.
Kristoffersen was the last racer on course but managed to hold on to his first-run lead as he battled his way through the ruts.
