Robinson Claims Second Consecutive Giant Slalom Win in Mont-Tremblant; Shiffrin Fades to Sixth

MONT-TREMBLANT, Quebec – New Zealand’s Alice Robinson dominated the women’s World Cup giant slalom in Mont-Tremblant on Saturday, securing her second straight victory in the discipline. Robinson, who also won last week in Copper Mountain, Colorado, posted a combined time of 2 minutes, 16.18 seconds to take the top spot in the first of two races at the Quebec resort.

“I was a bit nervous this morning because the conditions here were so different compared to last weekend,” Robinson admitted, “so I wasn’t sure the good skiing from last weekend necessarily meant it was going to be good this weekend. I’m really happy to roll it through in these conditions which were really tough today.” This win marks her sixth career World Cup victory, solidifying her position as the winningest World Cup skier from outside of Europe or North America.

Croatia’s Zrinka Ljutic finished second, 0.94 seconds behind Robinson, while Canada’s Valerie Grenier delighted the home crowd by taking third place, a second behind the leader. “It was a big reaction, big tears in my eyes,” Grenier said. “I still can’t believe it happened. With my teammates jumping into my arms, it made me cry a lot.”

American star Mikaela Shiffrin, who was in contention for the podium after finishing the first run in third place, struggled in the second run, posting only the 20th fastest time and ultimately finishing in sixth place (2:17.83).

The course conditions and steady snowfall throughout the first run appeared to challenge many skiers, with notable athletes like Austria’s Julia Scheib, the leader in the giant slalom standings, and Sweden’s Sara Hector both failing to complete their first runs.

Another giant slalom race is scheduled for Sunday at Mont-Tremblant.
