Ski Sunday - 2009 - 01/02/2009

Graham Bell and Ed Leigh travel to Austria for the famous men's slalom night race at Schladming. The atmosphere for the contest is always electric, with around 50,000 spectators descending upon the resort. The fans' partying was even more fervent last year after home favourite Mario Matt won the race, finishing nearly two seconds ahead of Italy's Manfred Moelgg. But the Italian had the last laugh, taking the slalom World Cup title off the Austrian at the end of the season. Both men are battling it out again this year, along with the likes of early season pacesetters Jean-Baptiste Grange of France, Croat Ivica Kostelic and another Austrian, Benjamin Reich. Matt Chilton is the commentator.
