FLACHAU, Austria (AP) — Swiss skier Camille Rast has earned the second World Cup victory of her breakthrough season bz leading teammate Wendy Holdener for a Swiss 1-2 finish at a night slalom. The result sent Rast back to the top of both the slalom and overall season standings. Injured slalom stars Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova were missing. Rast had a frenetic final run to improve from eighth position and beat runner-up Holdener by 0.16 seconds. Rast became the first skier other than Shiffrin or Vlhova to win the race since Frida Hansdotter triumphed in 2017.
