ÖSV embarrassment in Levi as Braathen puts on another show!
Following the giant slalom opener in Sölden, the Brazilian also wins the first slalom of the young World Cup season. For the ÖSV, the day turns into a debacle.
Lucas Pinheiro Braathen is currently the benchmark in the Ski World Cup!
In the first slalom of the young season in Levi, the Brazilian triumphed ahead of Clement Noel and Loic Meillard.
With this victory, last year's winner Braathen becomes the first racer ever to successfully defend his title in Levi.
ÖSV embarrassment
For Austria, the first slalom of the season in the absence of talisman Manuel Feller turned out to be an absolute embarrassment. Joshua Sturm, third after the first run, could not capitalize on his outstanding position and crashed out in the middle section.
Michael Matt, Fabio Gstrein, and Simon Rueland also failed to finish the second run. Johannes Strolz was the only ÖSV skier to register a final result, though the Vorarlberg native finished right at the back of the field.
