Mikaela Shiffrin gets first World Cup win since January

Mikaela Shiffrin is back in familiar territory — on top of a World Cup podium.

Shiffrin earned her 67th victory — tying for third on the all-time list — and her first since the Feb. 2 death of her father, taking a giant slalom in Courchevel, France, on Monday.

She prevailed by .82 of a second over Italian Federica Brignone combining times from two runs. Bassino won the previous two giant slaloms this season.

France’s Tessa Worley took third behind Shiffrin, who tied recently retired (but sparking comeback speculation) Austrian Marcel Hirscher at 67 World Cup wins.
