To find the last time two Swiss women topped a World Cup slalom before Camille Rast and Wendy Holdener, you have to look way back in the history books.

To be precise, back to January 26, 1996, when Sonja Nef triumphed in Sestriere with a lead of 14 hundredths over Marlies Oester. With Pernilla Wiberg (3rd place), a Swede also completed the podium in Italy. In Killington, at Rast's first World Cup triumph, Holdener and the Swede Anna Swenn Larsson finished in 2nd place at the same time.

The penultimate time two Swiss slalom specialists finished first and second was on November 27, 1994, when Vreni Schneider came out on top ahead of Martina Accola (and Sweden's Kristina Andersson) in Park City, Utah.
