Marta Bassino wins again; Mikaela Shiffrin drops from lead in World Cup GS

Marta Bassino won for the fourth time in five World Cup giant slaloms this season after Mikaela Shiffrin dropped from first to sixth place on Sunday.

Bassino prevailed by .66 of a second, combining times from two runs, over Swiss Michelle Gisin in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia. Slovenian Meta Hrovat was third.

Shiffrin, who led by three tenths over Bassino after the first run, ended up 1.27 seconds behind. Full results are here.

Shiffrin, the only woman other than Bassino to win a GS this season, didn’t make any major mistakes to the naked eye in her second run on a course set by an Italian coach.
