The first run looks like this:
Noel impressively showed his confidence in his second slalom of the winter. The Frenchman had no problem at all on the icy slopes, just like his victory in Levy a week ago, taking the lead after the first run.
While the Olympic champion from the far north only held a two-hundredth advantage over second-placed Loïc Meillard after half a race, in the Ötztal , the gap between him and his opponents reached 88 percent or more. Norway's Arter Leigh McGrath and Noel's compatriot Steven Amiz were the only ones less than a second behind the leader.

Despite not having a perfect ride, Tanguy Nef was still the best Swiss, finishing ninth. The driver from Geneva confirmed his good form – in Levi's Race he achieved a career-best result of fifth place. He was 1.45 seconds slower than Noel. Maillard finished third in the first race of the season but didn't really make an impact, finishing just 1.8 seconds behind 14th. Daniel Yule (21st) and Luca Aerni (23rd) qualified for the final of the 30 best riders, as will Ramon Zenhäuser Participate in the second round. Like Levy, Marc Rochat was eliminated.

The harsh slopes have also claimed the lives of other famous victims. Manuel Feller, who won his Gurgle debut a year ago, was eliminated for the third time in his third game of the season. Two returners, Lucas Braathen and Marcel Hirscher, also failed to reach the finish line. While it was the new Brazilian's first disappointment since his comeback, for Herschel it was another setback after he failed to make it to the second round of Levi's in 46th place. (Ritz/SDA)

Sepp Blatter: This is a farce. Both world titles were awarded in the same package. And there is no selection at all, there is only one applicant for each event: the 2030 World Cup is Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and the opening games will be played in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay. The year 2034 is Saudi Arabia.
