The men’s Europa Cup opening series of the season concluded in Levi, Finland, with two slalom races contested over the weekend. In Saturday’s race, Norwegian talent Sebastian Foss Solevaag — who was robbed of a World Cup podium one week earlier on the same hill by just one-hundredth of a second — came away with the over Switzerland’s Justin Murisier and Russian Alexander Khoroshilov who took second and third, respectively.

Quite possibly the most impressive move of the day was provided by the U.S. Ski Team’s A.J. Ginnis, who battled from start number 96 to finish 11th after putting together two more-than-solid runs. The Green Mountain Valley School alumnus started the day with 19 FIS points in slalom but handily picked up a 15-point scoring result for his efforts.

The University of Denver’s Trevor Philp, skiing for Canada, and Espen Lysdahl, representing Norway, finished 13th and 16th, respectively. David Chodounsky, in 23rd, and Phil Brown, in 29th, were the only other North Americans to finish inside the top 30 on Saturday.

Sunday produced a tighter race and a Swedish tie on the podium behind Germany’s Linus Strasser who claimed the victory. Swedes Calle Lindh and Axel Baeck jointly took second, 0.75 off Strasser’s pace. Khoroshilov narrowly missed his second podium of the weekend by only 0.07 due to the tie ahead of him, and he ultimately wound up fourth. Chodounsky followed suit in fifth while independent Canadian skier Julien Cousineau was 14th and Team America’s Michael Ankeny 17th.

The next men’s Europa Cup events are two super G races currently scheduled in Reiteralm, Austria, on Dec. 10 and 11.
