Overall women's World Cup leader Mikaela Shiffrin held on to a big opening-run advantage to win a giant slalom on Tuesday, the American's first triumph in the discipline in more than a year.
Carrying a lead of 0.72 seconds over Petra Vlhova from the first leg, Shiffrin lost nearly six-tenths of the advantage when her Slovakian rival posted the fastest time in the final run, but ultimately won by 0.13 seconds.
It was the 15th GS win in total for Shiffrin, who was the 2018 Olympic champion, but the first since triumphing in Courchevel, France, in December 2021. She had just one podium result from the seven previous giant slaloms in the calendar year 2022. "The start of with three races is always a bit nerve-racking. You hope that you are on the right shape, that you can bring intensity to the start," Shiffrin said.
"From the first turn I felt very good, I was very strong and dynamic, so I am super happy with my skiing," said Shiffrin, who earlier this season won two slaloms and a super-G.
