American ski racer Paula Moltzan made her 10th career World Cup podium, finishing second to Austrian Julia Scheib in a giant slalom in Åre, Sweden. This marks half of Moltz's podium finishes this season, including four runner-up finishes. The win was Scheib's fifth in nine races in the discipline. Mikaela Shiffrin finished fifth overall, one spot behind her closest competitor for the World Cup overall title. Despite this, Shiffren's 120-point lead over Germany's Emma Aicher is not insurmountable, especially considering that she has not raced a downhill this season and has only raced two super-Gs.
