The men’s bib lottery was held last night, Saturday, November 15, and below you will find the starting list for the Men’s Slalom at Levi, Finland, for today, November 16.
As the first Slalom event of the 2025-26 World Cup season, there is certainly a lot of anticipation going into the weekend. Could Lucas Braathen claim the first World Cup victory for Brazil in history? Last year, he finished in fourth, and the Brazilian-Norwegian ski racer is in top shape this season. Can Clement Noël repeat a victory, or will the Norwegians feature once again on the podium? Henrik Kristoffersen has won twice before at Levi, Finland—could he make it a triple victory, tying him with Marcel Hirscher, who is not in the starting blocks today but announced his return for January 2026 following an ACL tear.
