Sweden’s Sara Hector pips Mikaela Shiffrin for first win in seven years

• Shiffrin finishes second in giant slalom at Courchevel
• American widens overall World Cup lead over Goggia

Sara Hector ended a drought of nearly five years for the Swedish women's ski team by beating Mikaela Shiffrin in both runs of a World Cup giant slalom in Courchevel on Wednesday.

No Swedish skier had triumphed on the women's World Cup circuit since Frida Hansdotter won a night slalom in Austria in January 2017.
