Robinson takes Kronplatz giant slalom as Brignone crashes out
Alice Robinson won the World Cup giant slalom at Kronplatz on Tuesday, claiming her first win of the season after local hero Federica Brignone slid out of contention in a second-run disaster.
New Zealander Robinson moved to the top of the giant slalom standings after clocking a combined time of one minute and 55.28 seconds in the Italian Dolomites.
The 23-year-old took her fourth career World Cup win by 0.56sec over reigning overall and discipline champion Lara Gut-Behrami, with American Paula Moltzan completing the podium.
Robinson has 300 points in the giant slalom standings, just four more than Sara Hector who crashed out at the exact same point as Brignone, early in the run.
Sweden's Hector and Brignone had shared the wins from this season's four previous giant slalom races and the Italian had a big advantage before beginning her second run.
Brignone is the oldest woman to win a World Cup race at 34 years old and is gunning for her second overall title with four wins this season.
She was favourite for a second straight victory after winning Sunday's super-G in Corina d'Ampezzo and a fine first run on Tuesday morning.
But her mistake cost her top spot in the giant slalom standings and led to her lead in the overall table being slashed to 55 points, with Gut-Behrami lurking in second ahead of downhill and super-G events in Garmisch-Partenkirchen this weekend.
