The previous race that Shiffrin completed a first run in slalom or giant slalom outside the top-30 times was in October 2012 at the season-opening GS at Soelden, Austria. Then, a 17-year-old Shiffrin wearing bib No. 41 had the 31st fastest time.

Mikaela Shiffrin will have to wait for her 100th alpine skiing World Cup win after failing to qualify for the second run of Saturday's giant slalom in Sestriere, which is led by Alice Robinson. The second run is set to be a dramatic one as two giant slalom world champions are right on Robinson and Gut-Behrami's heels.

In just her second GS race Saturday three months after a serious crash, the American star did not qualify for a second run for the first time since 2012.
