The Andermatt cousins ​​on the box in Zell am See

Swiss women’s slalom is doing very well. While Camille Rast, Wendy Holdener and Mélanie Meillard are doing well on the World Cup front, things are also going very well at the lower level. This Monday in Zell am See, Eliane Christen and Aline Danioth took 2nd and 3rd place respectively in the second European Cup slalom in two days. The Uranaises were only beaten by Marion Chevrier.

Eliane Christen continues

The Frenchwoman, very solid at the bottom of the course at the Austrian resort, finally dominated Eliane Christen by 0″42 and Aline Danioth by 0″62. The two cousins ​​from Andermatt each moved up four places during the second round to get on the podium.

After having already won the day before, Eliane Christen takes the steps towards the summits one after the other. While she had never done better than 12th in the European Cup before this season, she already has her ticket in her pocket for the World Championships during which she will have the role of outsider.
