SR Staff Report
Norwegian skier Sebastian Foss-Solevaag benefited when Clement Noel missed the final gate in the second run of a World Cup slalom night race on Wednesday to claim his first victory since taking gold at the world championships.
Having dominated the opening leg, Noel was nearly a full second ahead of Foss-Solevaag at the final checkpoint in his second trip down but the Frenchman — who won the season’s opening slalom and was an overwhelming favorite — lost control and fell to the snow as he cleared the penultimate gate then slid across the finish line on the wrong side of the final gate.
