France’s Clément Noël finished 0.56 seconds behind, with Switzerland’s Loïc Meillard third, 0.73 seconds off the pace. Pinheiro Braathen held a 0.65-second lead after the first run and gave up only 0.09 seconds to Noël in the second; the Olympic giant slalom champion now has 10 World Cup wins, including five in slalom. The next chance for Noël to challenge him comes at Gurgl, Austria, next Sunday.
