KILLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Mikaela Shiffrin had a roaring crowd in her corner, possibly the biggest to watch a women's World Cup race.
But it was not enough to overcome Germany's Viktoria Rebensburg and a mistake early in her run in a stirring duel Saturday on Killington's aptly named Superstar trail.
Rebensburg won her second straight World Cup giant slalom by edging Shiffrin, the overall points leader who was skiing in the state where she attended school.
The German finished two runs on Killington's Superstar trail in 1 minute, 57.63 seconds, with Shiffrin 0.67 back. Manuela Moelgg of Italy held on for third, 1.
