Marta Bassino rallies to win Courchevel GS; Mikaela Shiffrin 4th

Italian Marta Bassino won her second World Cup giant slalom this season, while Mikaela Shiffrin took fourth in her first GS since January in Courchevel, France, on Saturday.

Bassino prevailed by .46 of a second over Swede Sara Hector combining times from two runs in light fog and falling snow. Slovakian Petra Vlhova, who led Bassino by .49 after the first run, ended up in third.

Shiffrin, third after the first run, lost significant time in the second run when she got bounced by the terrain between a pair of gates.
