Winner of two of the last four slaloms of the season, Kristoffersen is ahead of Austrian Manuel Feller in the specialty classification, third at 77/100.and. French Olympic champion Clément Noël, at home, did not finish this final race of the season after riding in the second run.
After 2016 and 2020, Kristoffersen therefore won the final classification of his favorite discipline for the third time, where he was almost the only one to be able to beat the Austrian Marcel Hirscher during his best years. After several less prosperous seasons, “Kristo” (27) found excellent results at the end of winter, also allowing him to take 3and place in the general classification, behind the Swiss Marco Odermatt and his compatriot Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, not aligned on Sunday.
Under a bright sun, and on soft “spring” snow, Clément Noël managed a convincing first run before getting on the second course.
His compatriot Alexis Pinturault, world No.1 last winter, finally ended a sluggish season with his 14and place, on his 31st birthday.
