2024 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's giant slalom

[7] Despite that, the race was won convincingly by Sweden's Sara Hector, with only Shiffrin and New Zealand's Alice Robinson finishing within four seconds of her combined time; meanwhile, sixth-place Gut-Behrami grabbed the overall discipline lead by 25 points over Brignone, who also failed to finish her first run.

[9] At the next race, a giant slalom in Soldeu, Andorra, Gut-Behrami won again, coming from ninth after the first run to edge Alice Robinson by one-one-hundredth of a second to virtually clinch her first career discipline title in giant slalom, with a 135-point lead over Brignone with just two races to go, and no one else still in contention.

In this race, the winner of the women's giant slalom Junior World Championship (Britt Richardson) was already eligible as one of the top 25 skiers in the discipline for the season (tied for 25th), and two skiers with at least 500 points who weren't otherwise eligible chose to compete (Michelle Gisin and Lena Dürr).

Due to injuries, four qualifiers (Shiffrin, Vhlová, Grenier, and Sofia Goggia) did not compete, leaving a field of 24 skiers.

Brignone lived up to her part of the challenge, winning the race almost a second and a half composite over Alice Robinson.
