Alice Robinson Leads Tremblant GS After First Run, One Day After Back‑to‑Back Wins

The New Zealander sits atop the giant slalom standings with 232 points entering the Tremblant finale.

Overview

  • Robinson won Saturday’s Mont-Tremblant giant slalom for her second straight GS victory and sixth World Cup win.
  • She beat Zrinka Ljutic by 0.94 seconds on Saturday, with Canada’s Valerie Grenier taking third on home snow.
  • Sunday’s first run put Robinson 0.16 seconds ahead of Austria’s Julia Scheib, with Nina O’Brien third and Mikaela Shiffrin 0.72 back in sixth.
  • Challenging weather and a flat, variable course contributed to errors, with pre-race favorites Julia Scheib and Sara Hector not finishing their opening runs on Saturday.
  • Shiffrin placed sixth Saturday after reporting back discomfort as she continues to rebuild GS form, while the circuit turns to speed events in St. Moritz next week.
