Austrian skier Manuel Feller clinched the World Cup slalom title Wednesday for his first career Crystal Globe when Saturday's race in Kranjska Gora was cancelled because of heavy rain at the Slovenian resort.
Feller, who won four of the nine slaloms this season, now holds an insurmountable 169-point lead over Linus Strasser of Germany in the slalom standings with only one more race remaining at the World Cup finals.
It's perhaps Feller's biggest career achievement after winning the silver medal in slalom at the 2017 world championships in St.
Moritz, Switzerland. It's the eighth men's slalom globe for Austria in the last 12 seasons and the first since Marco Schwarz claimed the title in 2020-21.
