Alpine skiing-Kristoffersen takes men’s slalom World Cup title (Reuters)
Austrian Marcel Hirscher was the race winner but young Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen took his first men’s Alpine skiing slalom World Cup title after finishing second in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, on Sunday. The victory was the second in two days for overall World Cup leader Hirscher, who took the giant slalom title with a race to spare on Saturday, and his 10th Crystal Globe. The Austrian is also set to secure a fifth successive overall crown because closest challenger and technical specialist Kristoffersen, 21, can only catch him if he enters the speed events for the first time.
