SEMMERING, Austria â Michelle Gisin earned her maiden World Cup win on Tuesday, becoming the first Swiss skier to win a womenâs slalom in nearly 19 years.
Gisin trailed Mikaela Shiffrin by two-hundredths of a second after the opening run but posted the second-fastest time in the final as the American dropped to third, 0.57 behind.
Gisinâs win ended a streak of 28 slaloms that were won by either Shiffrin, who triumphed 19 times, or Petra Vlhova. That streak started in January 2017.
âI broke the incredible run of two giants,â Gisin said. âItâs a perfect day.â
Vlhova was nearly nine-tenths off the pace in sixth after the first run before the Slovakian skier, who leads Gisin in both the overall and the slalom standings, improved to fourth with an attacking final run.
