Swiss skier has comeback of all comebacks, going 30th to first
Swiss slalom specialist Daniel Yule took advantage of a deteriorating course in spring-like conditions to become the first skier to win a World Cup race from 30th place after the opening run.
Yule had a big mistake in his first run on the Verte course in Chamonix, France, and only narrowly qualified as the last racer, with 1.93 seconds to make up on leader Clement Noel.
Racing in mild temperatures on a weakening course, Yule then benefitted from his early start in the second run by posting the fastest times in all four sections.
Slowed by the worsening course, most racers lost several tenths of their first-run advantage over Yule at every checkpoint and finished well behind. His teammate Loic Meillard came closest, trailing Yule by 0.16 seconds as he improved from fifth to second place.
