World Cup Ski Racing: Yule Wins From 30th Place

Daniel Yule from Switzerland won the World Cup race in Chamonix after the opening run from 30th position. His teammate Loic Meillard finished in second place. Yule narrowly qualified for the second run and then posted the fastest times in all four sections, taking advantage of the deteriorating course in spring-like conditions. This result denied Olympic champion Clement Noel a victory. The win was unexpected and unprecedented, as no skier had previously won a World Cup event after finishing the opening run in 30th place.
