Shiffrin, Worley, Goggia lead Golden Fox giant slalom

Mikaela Shiffrin claimed her third victory in a row since the new year with a win in the giant slalom of the 54th Golden Fox Trophy held at Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, due to a lack of snow in Maribor. Despite suffering from an illness early in the day, the American opened up a large gap over the field on the first run and ultimately bested France's Tessa Worley by 0.31 seconds at the end of the day. Rain in the second run challenged visibility for the athletes, but the strongest prevailed on the slope traditionally used on the men's tour.

Italy's Sofia Goggia sat eighth after the first run but attacked the lower pitch on the second run to catapult onto the podium in third. Switzerland's Wendy Holdener skied to a career-best GS finish in fourth, and Audi hot seat favorite Estelle Alphand of Sweden skied the fastest second run to finish 10th from bib 30.

The ladies will race slalom on Sunday in Kranjska Gora, and the combined best skiers from both days of competition will be honored on the 54th Golden Fox Trophy podium.
