James Crawford and Timon Haugan Shine in Kitzbuehel World Cup Events

Crawford ends Canada's 42-year drought with a historic downhill win, while Haugan leads rain-affected slalom as Kristoffersen exits early.

James Crawford became the first Canadian skier in 42 years to win the prestigious Kitzbuehel downhill, clocking a near-perfect run to claim his maiden World Cup victory.
Crawford's teammate Cameron Alexander also impressed, finishing third, marking a strong showing for the Canadian team ahead of the upcoming World Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm.
Norwegian skier Timon Haugan led the first run of the men's slalom on Sunday, navigating challenging rain conditions, while Steven Amiez of France and Lucas Pinheiro Braathen of Brazil followed closely behind.
Slalom world champion Henrik Kristoffersen, the current leader in the discipline standings, failed to finish after straddling a gate early in his run, shaking up the competition.
Friday's super-G event saw Swiss star Marco Odermatt secure his first win in Kitzbuehel, though the race was overshadowed by multiple crashes, including serious injuries to French skiers Alexis Pinturault and Florian Loriot.
