France crowned world champion in team parallel slalom, with Nice’s Mathieu Faivre winning the decisive point.

France is crowned world champion in the team parallel slalom at the world championships held in St Moritz.

Faivre secured the final point for France, allowing the team to reclaim a title that the French had won in 2011 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

The French team, led by Alexis Pinturault, Mathieu Faivre, Isola’s champion Tessa Worley, and Adeline Baud Mugnier, defeated Slovakia by time in the final.

This victory is timely, as the French team had been lacking results.
