Austria’s Julia Scheib raced to a grand slalom victory Sunday to conclude a women’s alpine skiing World Cup stop in Mont-Tremblant, Que.
Scheib finished with a two-run time of two minutes 13 seconds to pick up her third grand slalom medal of the season.
She also won gold at home in Soelden on Oct., 25 and took silver last week at Copper Mountain, Colo.
This was the second career World Cup win for Scheib, who also captured the first GS race of the season in Austria.
“It’s very special,” Scheib said. “The slope wasn’t the easiest for me.”
Julia Scheib’s winning time of 2:13.00 was enough to capture Sunday’s World Cup giant slalom race at Mont Tremblant, Que.
Sweden’s Sara Hector was second in 2:13.57, followed by New Zealand’s Alice Robinson, who won Saturday’s giant slalom, in 2:13.78.
Valérie Grenier of St-Isidore, Ont., who won bronze in Saturday’s grand slalom, fell at the end of her first run.
Britt Richardson of Canmore, Alta., the only Canadian to ski in the second run, finished 12th.
American star Mikaela Shiffrin was held off the podium again, finished tied for fourth with Switzerland’s Camille Rast. It was the second straight fourth-place finish for Rast.
Shiffrin was sixth in Saturday’s race.
The next stop for the women’s tour is next weekend in St. Moritz, Switzerland, for two downhill races and a super-G.
