  2. Kamil Stoch and Maciej Kot take double victory for Poland Double Olympic Champion Kamil Stoch of Poland took his 16th win in the World Cup in a difficult competition in Lillehammer. This was the first World Cup win for Stoch (134 m and 130.5 m; 289.9 points) since January 2015 (Willingen). With his second place, only 0.6 points behind the winner, Stoch's teammate Maciej Kot (129.5 m and 136 m; 289.3 points) secured the first double victory for the Polish team and their head coach Stefan Horngacher. The third place went to Germany's Markus Eisenbichler (128.5 m and 135 m; 286.2 points). For him this was, just like for Kot, the first podium result in the World Cup. The day's form decides "It's been a while since my last win. After my second jump I didn't expect to be on the podium, I thought I would be fourth and fifth again", Stoch said after his triumph. "We (Stoch and Kot) were already jumping on a high level yesterday, but the others are so strong at the moment that it depends on your shape on the exact day of the competition whether you are on the podium or close behind." Maciej Kot, who already showed what he's capable of last summer, was very satisfied after his second place. "This was a very difficult competition for me today, especially the first jump. Of course I'm happy that it was enough for the podium, but the season is still young and we still have a lot of work ahead of us", Maciej Kot said about the best result of his career in the World Cup. For 25-year-old Eisenbichler the first podium result of his career was a bit of a surprise, but after his performances over the past weeks many experts considered Eisenbichler one of the contestants for top results. "It feels great to be on the podium. I didn't expect that it would go that well today. I'm more than happy right now and it's still a bit hard to believe. The first jump was not that good today, but I will not complain", Eisenbichler said after the competition. Andreas Wellinger (10th), Karl Geiger (14th), Stephan Leyhe (18th), Richard Freitag (23rd) and Severin Freund (26th) completed the result of the German team. Severin Freund had bad wind conditions, the winner of the competition in Kuusamo had no chance to achieve a top result and now has to move on after today's disappointment. Top athletes with tail wind in the first round The conditions were extremely difficult for the last group of competitors in the first round. So Domen Prevc, Daniel Andre Tande of Norway, Stefan Kraft and Severin Freund had practically no chance to be among the best. Tande with a highlight Norway's Daniel Andre Tande, currently second in the overall World Cup, had really bad luck. Despite a top jump he was only 23rd after the first round. In the final the 23-year-old then showed what he's capable of right now. With the best jump in the second round (141 m) he moved up from 23rd to fourth overall. "I was so mad after my first jump. For the first time I had two good jumps today and then I had no chance with such bad conditions", said Tande, who could still feel like one of the winners today after his outstanding performance in the final round. Austria's Stefan Kraft was not as strong as Tande today, but still he did very well. He was 21st after the first round due to the tail wind and moved up to eighth with his second jump. With Manuel Fettner in 6th and Michael Hayboeck in 11th it was a good day for the team of head coach Heinz Kuttin. Switzerland, Finland and France not in the final The second day of competition in Lillehammer turned out to be a big disappointment for the Swiss athletes. A 38th place for Simon Ammann and the places 49 and 50 for Kilian Peier and Gregor Deschwanden are of course not good enough. Now the team of coach Ronnie Hornschuh has to make amends next weekend in their home event in Engelberg. Vincent Descombes Sevoie of France also became a victim of the difficult conditions at the end of the first round. With a 43rd place today he lost his Top 10 spot in the overall World Cup and is now 12th. Janne Ahonen already failed to make the cut in the qualification, Ville Larinto was 35th and missed the final of the best 30. Domen Prevc in the lead, Freund now fourth A sixth place today was enough for only 17-year-old Slovene Domen Prevc to defend his lead in the overall World (360 points). Daniel Andre Tande is second with 308 points) and Maciej Kot (247 points) is now third, followed by Severin Freund (233 points). Next weekend two World Cup competitions will be held in Engelberg (SUI). Full Results Here

  7. Shiffrin wins by over one second in Sestriere slalom Another tight ladies' race seemed to be developing during the slalom in Sestriere, Italy, on Sunday, but Mikaela Shiffrin turned on the jets to ultimately claim victory by over one second. After leading the first run by 0.12 seconds over Veronika Velez Zuzulova and 0.30 seconds over Frida Hansdotter, the American focused on having fun in the second run and it paid off with a 1.09 margin of victory over the Slovakian. "It was not perfect, that’s for sure," Shiffrin said of her first run. "I was pretty stiff, so I was a little bit bummed with my skiing. But I have another run, so we’ll see what happens." On the second run, she held nothing back and crossed the finish line with obvious happiness, first punching both fists down and then one across her body with a smile to mark her 23rd career victory and her sixth straight in slalom. "I took some free runs before second run and tried to find a solid feeling that I could rely on. And then when I went out of the gate second run, I just tried to make speed on every gate and never let up, and that mentality helped me a lot," she reflected. Wendy Holdener of Switzerland, who sat fifth after first run, fought hard in the second run to move onto the podium in third, 1.21 seconds off the winning pace. Hansdotter finished the day a close fourth, just 0.08 shy of the podium. “I had some troubles in the course, so I’m happy that I fought for the podium. But I could do it better,” Holdener said as she continues to hunt down her first victory in slalom. Tour veteran Velez Zuzulova was pleased to finish on the podium after she lost time in the second run, but she has her eyes set on a victory this season. "Second run I had a really good start, but on the lower part, I think I was too straight and there was a little bit more terrain than I was expecting, so I lost a lot of time," she noted. "I will go back to training and I will push it even harder and ... I will try to catch [Mikaela]. I can't be happy to always be second, so for sure I want more and I will push for that." The ladies' tour moves onto Val d'Isere, France, for alpine combined, downhill, and super-G next week. Full Results Here Mikaela Shiffrin 2nd Run Velez Zuzulová 2nd Run
  8. Slalom prince Kristoffersen is back in Val d'Isère For his first slalom of the season, Henrik Kristoffersen claimed the win on the challenging course of the “Criterium de la Première Neige” in Val d’Isère, ahead of his biggest rival in the discipline Marcel Hirscher and Russia’s Aleksander Khoroshilov. The results of the first run promised an interesting second leg, with a surprise guest in the lead: the skier of Courchevel Alexis Pinturault, who won the GS on the same hill on the day before. However, the slalom aces didn’t allow the Frenchman to win two consecutive races on “La Face”. After sitting out the first slalom of the season, Henrik Kristoffersen jumped from 3rd place to the highest spot on the podium, to claim his 10th slalom win. Already last year the Norwegian was topping the field in Val d’Isère, but this years’ victory is special for Kristoffersen as he had difficult start in the season due to personal reasons. "It's a really good feeling. With all that's happened in the last month and a half, too, this is really good. I hope you can expect me to ski good. As long as I can do that, I'm happy. I'm a little bit relieved. It's nice to slap some plastic again." It’s the other way round for Marcel Hirscher. He has been on the podium in every tech race he participated in since the beginning of the season, and today again, he earned a second place in the slalom. "You never can expect anything in alpine ski racing, especially not in the technical events, it is nearly impossible. From parts, it was an amazing weekend, from the positions, it was brilliant, but from the feelings I had during skiing, it was not the best weekend I've has so far in my career. Now Henrik is back and he is showing us who is the real big king in slalom skiing. I thought I have done a pretty good job during the summer, but right now I am searching for some slalom tricks to come closer to Henrik." In third place, Alexander Khoroshilov skied a very strong first run and limited the damage in the second. The Russian athlete, who never performed better than 8th place in Val d’Isère, grabbed his 7th career podium. “First run was really great. The second run, it was just surviving for me and maybe I think it's not only for me, but I'm really happy I'm on the podium again. I had a really good feeling and in the second run it was just a little more bumpy so I was a little more stiff. Really, I was just braking and surviving." The ladies will take over the hill in Val d’Isère with speed races next week-end. The men’s Tour is travelling to South Tyrol for the so-called “Italian Block”, where Val Gardena will start by organising a super-g and a downhill on Friday and Saturday.
