There are 1.01 seconds between Gisin and the tenth Sofia Goggia. The best Austrian in the absence of Katharina Liensberger is Ramona Siebenhofer in ninth (+1.59 seconds), Stephanie Brunner (+1.80) is eleventh.
Odermatt is also Sölden winner and won his third giant slalom of the season in Alta Badia on Monday with a lead of over a second. Shiffrin is the record winner in the French luxury resort, where she has already won five world cup races. In no other place is the 26-year-old as successful as in Courchevel.
“I approached the race aggressively. My plan worked and worked well, I made good use of the slope conditions,” says Shiffrin, who won the Sölden RTL and the home slalom in Killington in the Olympic winter. The giant slalom there was canceled due to the wind and will be rescheduled in Courchevel on Wednesday. Shiffrin celebrated her first victory here after the death of her father Jeff a year ago. The US Olympic champion now holds 71 World Cup victories. The second round starts at 1 p.m.
