Grenier, of St. Isidore, Ont., finished in a two-run combined time of one minute 55.01 seconds. Italy's Marta Bassino (1:55.38) was second and Petra Vlhova of Slovakia (1:55.41) completed the podium.

Meanwhile, American skier Mikaela Shiffrin's pursuit of Lindsey Vonn's women's World Cup wins record will go on for at least another day.

Shiffrin finished tied for sixth, ending her winning streak at five races. The American remains stuck on 81 career wins — one victory away from Vonn's mark of 82 victories.
