Mikaela Shiffrin Claims First Giant Slalom Win of Season at Lienz

Despite a conservative final run, Shiffrin's victory marks her 92nd career win, placing her third in the discipline standings.

Mikaela Shiffrin secured her 92nd career victory and her first giant slalom win of the season at the women's World Cup in Lienz, Austria.
Despite a conservative final run, Shiffrin managed to beat Federica Brignone by 0.38 seconds, pushing the Italian to the top of the discipline standings.
Sara Hector, the Olympic giant slalom champion from Sweden, dropped from second after the opening run to third, trailing Shiffrin by 0.45 seconds.
Shiffrin is currently third in the discipline standings, 80 points behind leader Brignone and 45 behind Lara Gut-Behrami.
The race was delayed due to a crash by one of the forerunners and a slide off the course by former World Cup giant slalom champion Marta Bassino.
