After having clinched the Indoor European Champion title last week at Amnéville, Jean-Baptiste Grange started the Slalom World Cup very well this week-end in Levi (Fin).

Indeed, the French racer takes 3rd place of the stage in spite of a big mistake in the second run.
«Today was a good fight! Everybody skied at its highest level. So, I am happy to finish on the podium, this means that I am in good shape and ready to be in the lead for the next races.
After my big mistake in the second run, I didn’t believe that I could be on the podium.
Perhaps I missed nervousness for the victory and I’ve been trapped on the flat part in the first run but the assessment of the day is positive! This was not the perfect race but I go for this 3rd place today and it’s nice! »
The skier from Valloire signs thus his 10th podium in Slalom on the World Cup Tour!
Stay tuned for the North American tournament which will begin as of November 28th in Lake Louise for two speed events!
