Worley wins giant slalom in St Moritz
Print Edition
World champion Tessa Worley of France won a World Cup giant slalom yesterday, racing to the fastest time in both runs.
Worley sped down in a combined time of 2 minutes, 7.62 seconds to deny Jessica Lindell-Vikarby of Sweden a second straight GS victory by .37 seconds.
Tina Maze of Slovenia, the defending overall World Cup champion, matched her best result of the season in third, trailing Worley by .79.
Worley got her eighth career World Cup win, all in giant slalom.
Overall standings leader Lara Gut of Switzerland and Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States were among expected contenders who did not complete the first run. Both slid out on the aggressive snow surface.
Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein, who won Saturday’s super-G in St Moritz, Switzerland, also skied out earlier.
In Val d’Isere, France, veteran Mario Matt of Austria safely protected his first-run lead to win a slalom race yesterday.
It was another disappointing day for the United States. Neither Ted Ligety, who finished the first run in 39th, nor Bode Miller, who went off course, qualified for the second run.
The 34-year-old Matt, a two-time former slalom world champion, beat Sweden’s Mattias Hargin by .53 seconds and Italian veteran Patrick Thaler — second after the first run — by .78.
Matt, who was second last month in the slalom at Levi, Finland, has 15 World Cup wins — 14 in slalom and one in super-combined.
