New Zealand's Alice Robinson claimed her first World Cup win in almost four years with her triumph in the giant slalom at Kronplatz, Italy on Tuesday, after leader Federica Brignone crashed out on her second run.

Here is a summary of the content from the Reuters article:

American skier Mikaela Shiffrin won the women's giant slalom at the World Cup in Jasna, Slovakia, on January 21, 2025, marking her first victory in this event in four years. Shiffrin, who had not won a giant slalom since December 2020, finished with a combined time of 2:19.31, beating Italy's Federica Brignone by 0.37 seconds. This victory was significant as it came after a period of recovery from a knee injury and amidst a season where she had already secured multiple wins in other disciplines. The race was also notable for the absence of Petra Vlhova, who was injured in a training crash. Shiffrin's win highlighted her resilience and skill, reinforcing her status as one of the top skiers in the world.
