Back-to-back giant slalom triumphs for Tessa Worley

Having claimed victory last month in Killington, Worley headed to Italy full of confidence and that was clear to see as she came home in 2:17.37 minutes.

That was good enough for first place with home favourite Sofia Goggia 0.15 seconds further back and third place going to Lara Gut of Switzerland.

Worley leads the giant slalom World Cup rankings on 240 points, with Goggia second on 185 and American Mikaela Shiffrin third on 165 after she finished sixth in Sestriere.

Despite missing out on the podium in Italy Shiffrin still leads the overall World Cup standings on 398 points, eight ahead of Gut.
