KITZBUEHEL, Austria — Olympic champion Clement Noel has won his fourth World Cup slalom of the season. The Frenchman triumphed after first-run leaders Timon Haugan and Steven Amiez both faltered on one of the most challenging courses on the circuit. Noel climbed from fourth position to win the race 0.09 seconds ahead of Alex Vinatzer of Italy. Lucas Pinheiro Braathen was 0.19 behind in third to earn his second podium result since his switch to the Brazilian federation. Noel overtook world champion Henrik Kristoffersen at the top of the slalom season standings. Kristoffersen straddled a gate early in the rain-affected first run.
