Lara Rast Wins Giant Slalom Event

Lara Rast secured a victory in the latest Giant Slalom race, finishing 0.20 seconds ahead of Scheib. Scheib had previously won three of the last five races.

Podium Finishes and Top Placements

Paula Moltzan achieved a podium finish, marking her second of the season following a crash in Semmering. The USA women's technical team had three skiers finish within the top eight positions in the event.

Olympic Giant Slalom champion Sara Hector and Mikaela Shiffrin, who holds the record for most World Cup Giant Slalom wins, completed the top five. Alice Robinson did not finish the first run for the second consecutive Giant Slalom event.

Impact on Season Standings

Rast's recent win, combined with a second-place finish in the prior week, has moved her to second in the season standings. She is now positioned behind Scheib and ahead of Robinson. This season has seen nine different skiers achieve a World Cup Giant Slalom podium finish.
