A soft slope and a twisting course caused large time gaps in the first run of the men’s slalom in the Ski World Cup in Wengen. With start number 3, the Swiss Loic Meillard took the lead at halftime, the Norwegians Henrik Kristoffersen (+0.45 seconds) and Lucas Braathen (+0.48) lurked behind him. The best Austrian was Marco Schwarz (+2.43), who is directly ahead of Johannes Strolz (+2.96) in tenth place.
