4 February 2023 at 10:12 Foss Solevåg with great lap – three Norwegians in the fight for victory Both Henrik Kristoffersen, Sebastian Foss Solevåg and Atle Lie McGrath are in the fight for victory in Chamonix after the first lap. Solevåg, who is the reigning world champion in slalom, has struggled this season, but impressed in France. Only one mistake at the bottom of the hill prevented him from being at the very top. – It’s a great run. He is back where he was in 2021. He can defend his WC gold. It was incredible. I am very excited about him today. He has had a tremendous rise in form, says Viaplay expert Kjetil André Aamodt. After the first lap, he is fifth, between Kristoffersen in fourth place and McGrath in sixth place. At the top is Clément Noël. Especially in the third sector, he smashed the competition, driving a hairpin in a different direction than most others. He made a lot of money from that, and is 15 hundredths ahead of Swiss Ramon Zenhäusern. A little further behind is Timon Haugan in 17th place, while Alexander Steen Olsen is in 20th place. They are fighting for the last place in the WC slalom, and today’s race is decisive. 15 hundredths with Steen Olsen picking up Haugan in the second half.
