New Zealand's skiing sensation, Alice Robinson, secured her fifth World Cup victory with a formidable display at the women's giant slalom event in Copper Mountain. The 23-year-old led from start to finish, commanding a respectful distance from her competitors to claim another impressive podium finish.

Austrian skier Julia Scheib finished close behind, trailing Robinson by a mere 0.96 seconds, narrowly missing her own shot at a second World Cup victory. Norway's Thea Louise Stjernesund rounded out the top three, marking a competitive day on the slopes.
