Lucas Braathen won the Alta Badia giant slalom for his second win in as many races.
The winner Norway's Lucas Braathen and third placed Switzerland's Marco Odermatt are framed by a Norwegian flag after an alpine ski, men's World Cup giant slalom, in Alta Badia, Italy, Sunday, Dec. 18, 2022. The 22-year-old Norwegian with a Brazilian mother and a taste for fashion — he’s got a line of jewelry for sale — showed off his skills on the slopes by winning one of the biggest giant slalom races of the World Cup season in Alta Badia on Sunday.
Braathen moved up from third after the opening run to finish a slim 0.02 seconds ahead of Norwegian teammate Henrik Kristoffersen on the Gran Risa course. Only two other active male skiers have won a slalom and giant slalom World Cup race in the same season: Kristoffersen and former overall champion Alexis Pinturault.
Now, Braathen is back on track and shaping up as a medal threat in two races at this season’s worlds in Courchevel and Méribel, France, in February.
