The second parallel slalom contest of the Snowboard World Cup season is scheduled in Bad Gastein tomorrow, with no athlete yet able to win two Alpine races this campaign.

There have been five men's winners and five women's victors so far this season, following Dmitry Loginov and Sabine Schöffmann's wins in Scuol - across the Swiss border - on Saturday (January 8).

The parallel slalom races will be followed by a team event on Wednesday (January 12), but both are non-Olympic disciplines and only one more parallel giant slalom race - at another Austrian venue in Simonhöhe - remains on the World Cup schedule before the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

Russia's Loginov is a former world champion in this discipline so will start among the men's favourites.

So too will Lee Sang-ho, who has finished on the podium in four of this season's five races and is a Paralympic silver medalist.

The man who won the Pyeongchang 2018 parallel giant slalom title ahead of Lee, Switzerland's Nevin Galmarini, is absent with COVID-19.

Germany's Stefan Baumeister, Swiss Dario Caviezel and Andreas Prommegger of Austria have all won World Cup legs this season and are included on the start list, as is world champion Benjamin Karl, also from Austria.

The 18-year-old Russian is joined by Switzerland's Julie Zogg and home hopes Daniela Ulbing and Sabine Schöffmann on the start list.

Pyeongchang 2018 gold medallist Ester Ledecká of the Czech Republic is absent.
