Atle Lie McGrath, who won three Slalom races this year in Alta Badia, Wengen, and Kranjska Gora, and finished on the podium six times, secured the discipline's Alpine Ski World Cup Crystal Globe by finishing 64 points ahead of Clément Noël and 73 points ahead of his former teammate, Lucas Pinheiro Braathen.
The 25-year-old talented skier has claimed the Slalom World Cup title for Norway for the second consecutive year. Last year, Henrik Kristoffersen won the Slalom Crystal Globe.
Norway has won six of the eleven Slalom races this season. Atle Lie McGrath won three races, Timon Haugan secured two, and Henrik Kristoffersen claimed one. In addition, five races were won by other countries: France, with Paco Rassat winning two and Clément Noël winning one; Austria, with Manuel Feller taking another; and Brazil, with Lucas Pinheiro Braathen winning one as well.
Atle Lie McGrath has only won more than one race in a single season once before, during the 2021-2022 winter season. That year, he finished third in the Crystal Globe race, which is the only time he has placed in the Top 3 in the Slalom season so far.
