Pinheiro Braathen Seals Back-to-Back World Cup Victories with Slalom Win in Levi
The Brazilian led by 0.65 seconds after the first run and held off Clement Noel for his 10th career World Cup win.
- German skier Emma Aicher won her first FIS Alpine World Cup slalom on Saturday in Levi, Finland, posting a combined time of 1:52.62. She beat runner-up Lara Colturi of Albania by 0.43 seconds.
- The victory marked the first Levi slalom win by neither Mikaela Shiffrin nor Petra Vlhova since 2014. Defending Olympic champion Shiffrin skipped the race to prioritize giant slalom and super-G this season.
- Recovering from a severe knee injury, Vlhova finished 16th in her first slalom since January 2024. Aicher led after the opening run and protected her advantage through the second leg despite being the final racer.
- Runner-Up Colturi secured her ninth World Cup podium but remains seeking her first career victory. Aicher's win positions her as a contender for the overall World Cup title this season.
- Defending Olympic slalom champion Shiffrin plans to resume her slalom campaign at Killington Resort in Vermont on November 29. She described this season as an 'exploration season' while prioritizing other alpine disciplines.
