Gut wins Aspen giant slalom after Shiffrin fall Lara Gut of Switzerland competes in the first run of the giant slalom during the Audi FIS Women's Alpine Ski World Cup at the Nature Valley Aspen Winternational on November 27, 2015 in Aspen, Colorado ©Doug Pensinger (Getty/AFP) Reigning world and Olympic slalom champion Shiffrin, who led after the opening run, was three gates from victory but did not finish, handing Gut her second career victory in the discipline after Solden, Austria, in 2013. In the World Cup overall and discipline standings, Brignone, who won this season's giant slalom opener at Solden, remained in first place by 160-150 over Gut with Brem third on 112. Three-time defending World Cup slalom champion Shiffrin had been second at Solden and would have taken the World Cup lead with a triumph. Instead, the 20-year-old American stands sixth on 80. she was third last season in the giant slalom. "Mikaela was skiing awesome," Gut said. "To win the overall, you have to ski fast. I focused on that. It's too early to talk about the overall. We will see in March." Gut struggled in giant slalom last season, finishing 24th in the discipline and sparking a major revamp. "Being fourth in Solden I realized I could compete again against the best," Gut said. "I fixed since March my problem in giant slalom. I changed everything, new skis, new skiman, Didier Cuche and Daniel Albrecht came to help -- the puzzle is coming into place." US ski star Lindsey Vonn crashed out in the first run. The four-time World Cup champion was running seventh when she faltered, the third of 18 skiers who failed to finish the opening run. "My left ski came off," Vonn said. "To be honest I am a bit perplexed. It wasn't even bumpy. It never happened to me in a race before. To happen in Aspen is really disappointing." Vonn, 31, moved on to next week's speed events in Canada, a course where she has dominated in past seasons. "Next week it's Lake Louise," she said. "I am going to move from today and focus on that." Brem was finally able to relax in the wake of pressure on her and her teammates with star Anna Fenninger injured and out for the season. "Everything was easy before the first race of the season in Solden, but then it went wrong," Brem said. "I always try to reach my goals and ski for myself. I didn't ski for myself, or freely, in Solden and in the first round here. I went for the victory. I skied on edge. Mikaela was going for the victory and she is out. It's how it goes."
