Pinheiro Braathen doubles up with Levi slalom win

Levi (Finland) (AFP) – Brazil's Lucas Pinheiro Braathen held on to a first run lead to win the World Cup slalom on the tricky glacier piste at Levi on Sunday.

Pinheiro Braathen pulverised the first run and despite coming ninth on the second one, ended a comfortable 0.56sec ahead of Frenchman Clement Noel.

Loic Meillard of Switzerland was third at 0.73 thanks to a powerful second run after Austria's Joshua Sturm, third after the first run, missed a gate.

The 26-year-old Pinheiro Braathen, who switched allegiance from Norway to Brazil, already won the season-opening giant slalom in Solden in October.

The World Cup continues with two men's slaloms next weekend at Gurgl, Austria.
