COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. (AP) — Alice Robinson of New Zealand secured a record-setting World Cup giant slalom victory at Copper Mountain on Saturday while American star Mikaela Shiffrin managed only the 14th best time.

Her fifth career win made Robinson the most successful women’s World Cup winner from a non-European or North American country, according to the International Ski and Snowboard Federation.

Robinson led after the first run and defended her advantage on the second go.

Julia Scheib of Austria was second and Louise Stjernesund of Norway completed the podium.

Valerie Grenier of Mont-Tremblant, Que., finished ahead of Shiffin in 13th. Britt Richardson of Canmore, Alta., placed 16th.
