After his victory on Saturday, Henrik Kristoffersen won the second slalom of the weekend, Sunday February 27, in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Eighth in the first heat, the Norwegian dominated the second heat and was able to take advantage of the consecutive outings of Johannes Strolz, Ramon Zenhäusern and Loïc Meillard. Dave Ryding and Linus Strasser complete the day’s podium. Kristoffersen recovers the red slalom jersey from Lucas Braathen and puts himself in the best possible position in the race for the little crystal globe.

Ten days after his gold medal at the Beijing Olympics, Clément Noël still had a difficult race by not crossing the finish line in the first run, going to fault from the first meters. Alexis Pinturault finished in twelfth place after setting the fifth fastest time in the first heat. The winner of the big crystal globe misses the top 10 and confirms a complicated 2022 season, after missing out on his Olympic Games.
