HENRIK KRISTOFFERSEN WINS! 0″34 ahead of Atle Lie McGrath and 0″54 ahead of Clément Noël. Clément Noël is back just before the Olympics! In difficulty over the last three slaloms, the reigning Olympic champion took third place on Wednesday in Schladming (Austria) thanks to an improbable second run. The Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen, in tears, won his first slalom of the winter, 0.34 ahead of his compatriot Atle Lie McGrath and 0.54 ahead of the Frenchman. Paco Rassat retired, while Victor Muffat-Jeandet, 16th, probably missed his last opportunity to see the Milan-Cortina Olympics.
