by James Spangler All Blacks Rugby

France’s Clement Noël earned a first International Ski Federation (FIS) Alpine Ski World Cup win of the season as he took the first of the two slalom races scheduled this weekend at Chamonix. world junior alpine skiing

The home athlete, who finished second behind the Austrian who leads the overall slalom standings, Marco Schwarz, at the World Cup event in Schladming last Tuesday (January 26), finished 0.16sec clear of second-placed Ramon Zenhäusern of Switzerland.

This home slope is a happy hunting ground for the 25-year-old Noël, the 2018 world junior champion who missed the slalom podium by one place at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics.

Schwarz, three times a World Championship medallist, had to settle for third place on this occasion as he was timed 0.19 slower than his French rival. FIS Alpine Junior World Ski Championships 2021

Switzerland’s Luca Aerni was fourth - having barely made the second run in 29th place, he beat the rest of the field by 0.88 to finish just 0.47 adrift of the winner.
