Federica Brignone of Italy picked up her first World Cup victory in two seasons by winning a women's giant slalom on Saturday.
Mikaela Shiffrin finished in third place in Mont-Tremblant, Que. Brignone covered the two legs on foggy Mont Tremblant — which hadn't hosted a World Cup ski race in 40 years — in a combined time of two minutes 14.95 seconds.
Petra Vlhova of Slovakia was second fastest in 2:15.16, followed by overall World Cup leader Shiffrin in 2:15.24. Shiffrin was denied what would have been a record-extending 91st career World Cup win.
Valerie Grenier of St. Isidore, Ont., was the fastest Canadian with an eighth-place finish. She posted the sixth-fastest opening run with a time of 1:07.27, but her second go of 1:09.53 was just the 19th fastest.
