JASNA, Slovakia — Olympic champion Sara Hector dominated both runs and beat Mikaela Shiffrin in an eventful women's World Cup giant slalom. New Zealand's Alice Robinson trailed by 2.71 seconds third.

The slippery ice surface in combination with an unusually turning set of the gates caused problems for many racers in the first run.
