The ski season is almost over. And yet, one big decision still remains for the men: Who will win the small crystal globe in the slalom? This mystery will be solved on Thursday (17/20 p.m.). Henrik Kristoffersen and Loic Meillard will be in the lead.

Kristoffersen leads the standings ahead of the final World Cup race of the winter with 47 points ahead of Meillard. Theoretically, Clement Noel could also intervene, but he is a whopping 86 points behind Kristoffersen. Therefore, the battle for the globe is primarily focused on the Norwegian Henrik and the Swiss Loic.

Before the big showdown, Kristoffersen praised his competitor. "He is the best all-rounder in the world – 100 percent. Anyone who says otherwise has no idea what they're talking about," the 30-year-old told Eurosport. gegenüber View He even said: “If Loic wins the ball, I would like to cook for him.”

Kristoffersen proves that these harmonious sentences are not empty words with another statement. "Loic is invited to my wedding in the summer," the Scandinavian explained to Eurosport. A gesture that caused a stir. When one of the biggest competitors is invited to the wedding, that might mean something. It proves that the two truly enjoy a harmonious relationship, even off the track.

In any case, not only a great ball battle awaits the two, but also a dream wedding. Kristoffersen will marry his long-time girlfriend Tonje Barkenes this summer. The two have been together since their youth, became parents for the first time a year and a half ago, and have been engaged since January 2024. Now the wedding bells are ringing. It will be interesting to see if any other ski stars have received an invitation besides Meillard.
