American skier Mikaela Shiffrin placed outside of the women's giant slalom top 30, while Federica Brignone made it back-to-back wins on home snow Saturday in Sestriere, Italy.

World champion Federica Brignone defied poor health again to claim back-to-back giant slalom World Cup victories in her native Italy while American star Mikaela Shiffrin failed to qualify for the second run for the first time in a dozen years.

Italian Federica Brignone won a women's World Cup giant slalom on home snow in Sestriere on Friday as U.S. ski great Mikaela Shiffrin finished 25th on her return to the discipline after a crash in Vermont last November.
