Mikaela Shiffrin ties modern record with world championships super-G silver

• American wins 12th medal in 15 world championship race
• Italy's Marta Bassino wins gold with superb performance

Marta Bassino beat Mikaela Shiffrin to win the women's super-G on Wednesday and give Italy its second gold medal at the Alpine skiing world championships, with her American rival settling for silver.

Shiffrin, who won super-G gold in 2019 and bronze two years ago, led Bassino by three-tenths of a second at the second split but couldn't match the Italian's pace in the last part of the Roc de Fer course and finished second, 0.11 seconds behind.
