ÅRE, Sweden (AP) — Petra Vlhová posted the fastest time in the opening run of a women’s World Cup giant slalom. The Slovakian gave herself a chance to narrow the gap on leader Mikaela Shiffrin in the overall standings. Shiffrin clocked the sixth-fastest time and was 0.79 seconds behind Vlhová. The American leads her Slovakian rival by 117 points in the overall standings with six races left this season.
