After the giant slalom, the men’s slalom in Kranjska Gora, which had been postponed to Saturday, also fell victim to the weather. Organizers from Slovenia say extremely heavy rain completely destroyed the slope. The FIS was working on a possible replacement, but was unable to find an organizer due to time constraints.
So the only thing left in the slalom is the race in Saalbach, Austria, on March 17. As a result, Austrian Manuel Feller is prematurely declared winner of the discipline classification. His lead over the German Linus Strasser is 169 points. Swiss Loïc Meillard is currently third in the slalom rankings, 276 points behind Feller. The 31-year-old Feller won this winter in Gurgl, Adelboden, Wengen and Palisades Tahoe.
Swiss quintet in Saalbach
The cancellation in Kranjska Gora is unfortunate for Ramon Zenhäuser and Tanguy Nef. Both Swiss ski athletes are not allowed to participate in Saalbach because they are not among the best 25 slalom skiers of the season. Zenhäuser missed qualifying for the season finale in 27th place with 21 points, Nef (29th) missed 33 points. In addition to Meillard, Daniel Yule (7th), Marc Rochat (9th), Luca Aerni (20th) and junior world champion Lenz Hächler are present. (SDA/yap)
