As expected the American Mikaela Shiffrin dominated the first round of the giant Sölden (Austria) on Saturday, the first race of the World Cup season of alpine skiing, but the young New Zealand prodigy Alice Robinson the heels before the second run .

In 1:07:89, Shiffrin, triple champion of the big crystal globe and giant globe champion, has largely dominated its main rivals (Federica Brignone is 3rd at 86 hundredth, Petra Vlhova 7th at 1.47 ...), except New Zealand teenager Alice Robinson (17), impressive 2nd at 14 hundredths.

Two-time French World Champion Tessa Worley, whose preparation was delayed due to a right knee surgery in April, remains in the podium race (6th at 1 sec 24).

No other French (Romane Miradoli, Clara Direz, Coralie Frasse-Sombet, Doriane Escané) has managed to qualify for the second round (it must finish in the first 30).

The second round starts at 13:00 (French time).
