KITZBUEHEL, Austria (AP) — Swiss skier Daniel Yule has won a men’s World Cup slalom after first-run leader Manuel Feller straddled a gate and failed to finish his home race. Yule was seventh after the opening run. He posted the third-fastest time in the second and then saw the top six fail to beat his leading time on the icy Ganslern course. Last year’s winner Dave Ryding posted the fastest time in the second run and improved from 14th to second place. Lucas Braathen was third and overtook fellow Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen at the top of the slalom standings.
