Rebensburg leads just ahead of Shiffrin and Brunner

The first round of the women's giant slalom on Friday morning in Courchevel was quick and easy. After Viktoria Rebensburg took the lead with start number 5 and a fast ride, favorite Mikalea Shiffrin started the race with start number 6. The American drove a clean line, but ended up in second place, only eight hundredths behind Rebensburg.

The Austrian Stephanie Brunner, with start number 7, also came very close to the leader and ultimately crossed the finish line at the same time as Shiffrin. The Frenchwoman Tessa Worley is eleven seconds behind Rebensburg in fourth place after the first run. As the best “Azzurra”, Federica Brignone finished the first round in sixth place (+0,27).

The decisive second round (from 13.30 p.m. in the SportNews live ticker) promises excitement.

Pichler clearly missed the top 30 There was nothing to gain for Karoline Pichler. The Petersberg native, who returned this season after a long injury break of over two years, is still looking for her form. She clearly missed the second round of the top 30: Pichler couldn't get any better than 46th place this time. The gap to the leader was +5,12 seconds, and the 30-year-old was almost two seconds short of a place among the top 24.

The first World Cup races in Sölden and the USA did not go as planned for Pichler. In Sölden she was eliminated from the giant slalom in the first run, and at the RTL in Killington she also missed qualifying for the second run quite clearly by finishing 42nd.
