After Gurgl and Levi, Clément Noël has just added a new line to his list this season. Enough to ask us serious questions about winter sports.
Clément Noël takes part in the FFL’s black day
The best slalom skiers in the world met in Adelboden this weekend. And among them, Clément Noël. The Frenchman sets the third time in the first round, and maintains all his chances of winning the slalom. On an arduous track that is very difficult to negotiate, the Vosges is on the verge of making a mistake countless times. But Clément stays on his skis, and crosses the finish line two hundredths ahead of Lucas Pinheiro Braathen. Terrible.
No other competitor is able to beat his time, which means that the Frenchman wins the Adelboden slalom, where no other compatriot has won since a certain Julien Lizeroux in 2009. From the height of his third success in the season, Clément Noël also signs his thirteenth career victory. This allows him to equal the national record for men, previously held by Jean-Noël Augert. We don’t even have the heart to make a pun about Christmas anymore.
“It’s crazy. Adelboden has always been a struggle for me. I am very happy to win here, it’s a legendary stage, with a huge atmosphere” Clément Noël
