Surprisingly, Canadian Laurence St-Germain, who has never won a World Cup race in her career, secured victory in Méribel. Top favorite Mikaela Shiffrin, who was still in the lead after the first run, took silver. It is the American’s 14th World Championship medal and her third at the title fights in France after gold in giant slalom and silver in super-G.
For Dürr it is the first individual medal at a World Championships. After the first round she was still in fourth place. In the final, she benefited from the loss of the Swiss Wendy Holdener, who was second at half time, and improved by one place.
