Lucas Pinheiro Braathen won the first slalom of the 2026/2027 Alpine Skiing World Cup season. The Brazilian racer triumphed in Levi, Finland, ahead of Frenchman Clément Noël, whom he beat by 56 hundredths of a second. sport.sk ↗
Braathen was the fastest already in the first run. He had a 65-hundredths lead over Noël and recorded the best time in all four measured sections. He held onto his position in the second run as well, securing his second victory of the new World Cup season. Der Standard ↗
The Brazilian built on last year's success, when he likewise won the slalom in Levi. In this season's opening race, he also confirmed his strong current form. Noël, the 2022 Olympic champion, finished second and was unable to halt Braathen's dominance on the Finnish course. Le Figaro ↗
Other racers filled the remaining places, with German slalom skier Linus Straßer failing to break into the top ten at the start of the season. The result in Levi thus highlighted the gap between Braathen and his rivals at the beginning of winter. Tagesspiegel ↗
Braathen will have the chance to continue his winning streak in upcoming races and strengthen his position among the standout slalom skiers of the season's start. Clément Noël will try to close the gap to the Brazilian racer on future courses.
