Mikaela Shiffrin gets 78th World Cup win, moving closer to Lindsey Vonn's record.
SEMMERING, Austria – 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.
Marta Bassino, who won the previous GS and remains in the lead of the discipline standings, was 0.31 behind in third. Olympic GS champion Sara Hector of Sweden trailed by 1.52 in eighth. The race was a replacement for the season-opening giant slalom that was canceled in another Austrian resort, Sölden, in October, and is the first in a three-day series, followed by another GS on Wednesday and a night slalom the next day.
Sofia Goggia, the Italian speed specialist who is runner-up to Shiffrin in the overall standings, does not compete at Semmering, enabling the American to extend her lead to 205 points.She had a blistering start at Semmering and won considerable time on her rivals in the first 15 seconds of the run and posted the fastest split times in all but the last section.
