Mikaela Shiffrin held on to a big first-run lead to win a women’s World Cup giant slalom amid tough course conditions on Thursday for the American’s record-extending 92nd career victory.
Shiffrin lost most of her advantage as she skied a rather conservative final run, posting only the 17th fastest time. But it was enough to beat Federica Brignone by 0.38 seconds, a result that sent the Italian to the top of the discipline standings.
