Skier Hirscher sets record

Once more in Marcel Hirscher’s stellar career he was racing against Alpine skiing’s history book Sunday in Adelboden, Switzerland.

The Austrian great almost inevitably won a World Cup slalom to set a men’s record on the 52year circuit for most wins by one skier at a single venue.

The Chuenisbaergli slope at Adelboden was an original World Cup venue in January 1967 and its race winners’ roll reads like a list of Alpine ski greats.

Hirscher’s ninth career victory at Adelboden was earned with a second-run charge to victory for the second straight day.

Third-fastest in the morning, Hirscher was fastest in the afternoon to finish 0.50 seconds ahead of Clement Noel. The 21-year-old Frenchman got his first career podium finish.

Hirscher’s ninth career win at the storied Swiss hill lifted him over two racers who have won eight times at one venue: Ingemar Stenmark at Madonna di Campiglio, Italy, in the 1970s and ’80s and Aksel Lund Svindal in Lake Louise, Canada, since 2005. Hirscher has also won eight times at Alta Badia, Italy.

Hirscher also matched Stenmark’s record of five career slalom wins at two different venues. Alberto Tomba got five wins at a single venue.
