Norway's Timon Haugan Secures Dominant Slalom Victory in Alta Badia

Haugan claims his second World Cup win, leading a strong Norwegian performance in challenging conditions.

Timon Haugan of Norway won the men's World Cup slalom in Alta Badia, Italy, finishing 1.13 seconds ahead of Switzerland’s Loic Meillard.
This marks Haugan’s second career World Cup victory, following his slalom win at last season’s finals in Austria.
Haugan’s teammate Atle Lie McGrath placed third, continuing his streak of podium finishes in slalom events this season.
France's Clement Noel, an Olympic champion and early season standout, struggled in the second run and finished sixth after battling a recent ankle injury.
The men’s World Cup circuit will remain in Italy, with downhill and super-G races scheduled in Bormio next weekend.
