Volkswacht Bodensee - Kristoffersen wins Val d'Isere slalom after Amiez crashes out

The Norwegian, who tops the discipline standings as well, was second after the first run, 0.32 seconds behind Steven Amiez.

However, the 26-year-old Frenchman, son of 2002 Olympic slalom silver medallist Sebastien Amiez, straddled a gate at the top of his second run and crashed out.

Kristoffersen clocked a combined time of 1 minute 36.40 seconds on the Face de Bellevarde to snatch his first World Cup win in almost two years.

The 2023 world champion last topped the podium in a World Cup event after winning the slalom in Wengen in January 2023.

On Sunday, he finished 0.52sec ahead of his Norwegian teammate Atle Lie McGrath who claimed his third podium of the winter after finishing third in both the Soelden giant slalom and Gurgl slalom.

Swiss skier Loic Meillard picked up third, coming home 0.89sec behind Krisoffersen while Brazilian Lucas Pinheiro Braathen climbed 22 places in the second run to finish just off the podium.

Olympic slalom champion Clement Noel, who won the first two slalom events of the year, decided not to race after suffering broken teeth and a sprained ankle in a heavy fall during Saturday's giant slalom.

He is targeting a return to the piste in Alta Badia, where the next World Cup slalom takes place on December 23.
