Tessa Worley wins giant slalom after Mikaela Shiffrin loses 1st-run lead

MARIBOR, Slovenia - Giant slalom specialist Tessa Worley got back to winning ways on Saturday, clinching a French record 11th career win in her favorite discipline.

Worley had been beaten by Mikaela Shiffrin at two GS races last week. But with the American leading again after the opening leg, Worley used a near-perfect final run to grab her third win of the season.

“It feels better for sure,” said Worley about winning again. “I can’t say I was disappointed as second places are awesome. But to be able to fight back to the top feels great.”

Worley had the fastest second-run time to beat Sofia Goggia by 0.
