The best Bulgarian alpine skier Albert Popov finished 14th in the slalom of the Alpine Skiing World Cup in the Austrian winter resort of Kitzbuhel.
Popov set a 17th time in the first run and with a good ride in the second found a place in the top 15 1:17 seconds behind the winner Clement Noel.
This is the fourth best ranking for the Bulgarian this season after the victory in Madonna di Campiglio and two more entries in the top 10 during the campaign.
The Frenchman Clement Noel was fourth after the first run, but managed to take the lead and win with a total time of 1:41.49 minutes.
This is victory number 14 for Noel in his World Cup career.
The leader after the first run, Timon Haugan (Norway), failed to finish the second. His compatriot Atle McGrath did the same, as did the Swiss Loic Meyar. The second after the first run, Steven Amiet from France, made a mistake and although he finished, he lost too much time and remained last 27th.
The leader in the general standings for the World Cup remains the Swiss Marco Odermatt with 1006 points. Second with 634 points is the Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen, who did not finish the first run of today's slalom, and third place with 542 points is occupied by Loic Meyar (Switzerland).
Albert Popov is in seventh place in the standings for the Small Crystal Globe in the discipline with 279 points. Clement Noel came out on top with 464 points, followed by Henrik Kristoffersen with 435 points and Meillard with 370.
