The four-times overall World Cup champion clocked a time of 58.72 seconds down the Erta slope with Swiss rival and reigning giant slalom world champion Lara Gut-Behrami in second place and 0.13 behind.

Italian Federica Brignone was third, 0.27 slower than Shiffrin.

Shiffrin, 27, is level with retired compatriot Lindsey Vonn on 82 wins.
