Shiffrin leads 1st run; can add to her World Cup record
SAN VIGILIO DI MAREBBE, Italy (AP) — Mikaela Shiffrin holds a big lead in the first run of a giant slalom and could quickly add to her record total of 83 World Cup wins on the same course where she set the women’s mark a day earlier. Shiffrin is 0.51 seconds ahead of Olympic champion Sara Hector and 0.65 ahead of former World Cup giant slalom champion Marta Bassino. Lower-ranked skiers were still coming down the course at the Kronplatz resort in San Vigilio. Shiffrin also led the first run on Tuesday when she moved ahead of the previous women’s mark of 82 wins held by former American teammate Lindsey Vonn.
