Henrik Kristoffersen won the men's World Cup slalom in Val d'Isère, marking his first victory in nearly two years. He finished 0.52 seconds ahead of teammate Atle Lie McGrath and 0.89 seconds faster than Switzerland's Loic Meillard. Kristoffersen's win came after first-run leader Steven Amiez fell during the second run. Amiez, who had never finished on a World Cup podium, was aiming for his first victory in front of a home crowd. Olympic champion Clement Noel did not compete due to an ankle injury. Kristoffersen now leads the slalom standings and remains at the top of the overall standings.
