Robinson wins giant slalom and Shiffrin 14th at Copper Mountain
COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. (AP) --- Alice Robinson of New Zealand secured a
record-setting World Cup giant slalom victory at Copper Mountain on Saturday
while Mikaela Shiffrin managed only the 14th best time.
Her fifth career win made Robinson the most successful women's World Cup winner
from a non-European or North American nation, according to the International
Ski and Snowboard Federation.
Robinson led after the first run and defended her advantage on the second go.
Julia Scheib of Austria was second and Louise Stjernesund of Norway completed
the podium.
Shiffrin was 2.08 seconds slower than Robinson over the two runs.
Shiffrin will get another chance to add to her record 103 World Cup wins in
front of fans of her home state. On Sunday, the American will seek to add to
her 66 wins in slalom, the most by any skier in the World Cup's 59-year history.
