Big shock at the iconic Hahnenkamm! Norwegian star Atle Lie McGrath, wearing the coveted red bib as World Cup slalom leader, is out of today’s men’s slalom race in Kitzbühel after a dramatic early exit.
The 24-year-old phenom – known for his explosive speed and silky technique – didn’t make it far down the legendary Ganslern slope, ending his bid for crucial points in the discipline standings. McGrath had been one of the hottest names heading into the weekend, fresh off strong performances and carrying serious momentum into the final stretch before the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics.
With the race still unfolding, the door is now wide open for other contenders to seize the day on one of the toughest and most storied slalom courses in the world. Who steps up to claim the win and keep their Olympic dreams roaring?
