Austrian master Marcel Hirscher confirmed his impressive early-season form with another dominant victory in Saturday’s World Cup giant slalom in Val d’Isere.
Hirscher, with two victories in Beaver Creek (giant, super-G) and a third place in the Soleden giant already to his name this year, was fastest down both legs in brilliant sunshine in the French Alps, clocking a combined time of 2min 08.46sec.
Felix Neureuther of Germany finished second, at 1.29sec, with France’s Victor Muffat-Jeandet completing the podium, at 1.58sec.
