Stockholm set for city event on Tuesday

The Scandinavian metropolis of Stockholm, Sweden, will host its third Audi FIS Ski World Cup city event on Tuesday evening on the slope at SkiStar's Hammarbybacken. The race is the final World Cup technical event and parallel competition prior to the 2018 PyeongChang Olympic Winter Games, where a side-by-side racing format will make its Olympic debut in the Alpine Team Event.

The top-12 World Cup starting list (WCSL) ranked slalom athletes and the top four ranked overall athletes create qualification spots for the city event. Nations may substitute any other skiers within the top 30 WCSL for slalom or the overall for a qualified competitor from their country. Given the proximity in timing to the Olympic Winter Games, some teams opted to replace qualified skiers with other top slalom racers following the official qualification on Sunday afternoon.
