Mikaela Shiffrin continued her tentative return to racing in giant slaloms at Sestriere and did not qualify for a second run for the first time since 2012 by placing outside the top 30.

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.

Federica Brignone won the first World Cup giant slalom after taking gold at the world championships, while Mikaela Shiffrin finished 25th in the American's first race in the discipline in nearly 12 weeks.
