The 3Tre slalom in Madonna di Campiglio lived up to its reputation as one of the most challenging night races on the World Cup circuit. The second run, set on the icy Canalone Miramonti slope, proved decisive and unforgiving, with many top contenders failing to finish. In the end, Clément Noël mastered the conditions, claiming his first win of the season and 15th career slalom victory. Eduard Hallberg, fastest in the opening run, settled for second, just 0.12 seconds behind, while Paco Rassat stormed from 16th to third with an impressive comeback. Lucas Pinheiro Braathen narrowly missed the podium, finishing fourth. The tricky course and sharp turns demanded precision, punishing even minor mistakes. Nine racers did not complete the second run, underlining the difficulty of the setup. Italian hopes faded as Alex Vinatzer exited early, leaving Tommaso Sala and Matteo Canins to salvage points. With over 14,000 fans under the floodlights, the race delivered drama and excitement, reinforcing 3Tre’s status as a true test of skill and nerve.
