Killington, United States: US ski star Mikaela Shiffrin, chasing a landmark 100th World Cup win, topped the first leg of the giant slalom in Killington, Vermont, on Saturday.
Shiffrin, a two-time Olympic champion and five-time overall World Cup champion, was second out of the gate in the opening run and defied difficult, windy conditions to take the lead in 55.78sec.
Sweden's Hector Sara was second-quickest in 56.10.
Shiffrin, 29, already has 13 more World Cup wins than the most successful man, Ingemar Stenmark, and 17 more than the second woman, compatriot Lindsey Vonn.
She bagged her 98th and 99th career titles this season with slalom wins in Levi, Finland, and Gurgl, Austria.
