Olympic champion Clément Noël won the World Cup night slalom in Madonna di Campiglio, securing his first victory of the season. Noël, who was third after the first run, finished 0.12 seconds ahead of Eduard Hallberg. Hallberg, leading after the first run, aimed to end Finland's nearly 20-year drought for a men's World Cup victory but secured his second podium finish of the season. Noël expressed confidence in his skiing and satisfaction with his second-run performance.
