COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. (AP) — Alice Robinson of New Zealand secured a record-setting World Cup giant slalom victory at Copper Mountain on Saturday while Mikaela Shiffrin managed only the 14th best time.

Her fifth career win made Robinson the most successful women’s World Cup winner from a non-European or North American nation, according to the International Ski and Snowboard Federation. She broke a tie with compatriot Claudia Riegler for that honor.

“It’s always really special for me to represent New Zealand, especially in a sport like ski racing that’s so dominated by North America and Europe,” Robinson said. “So I’m really proud of that.”

Robinson led after the first run and perfectly defended her advantage with an equal-best second run on the course set at an altitude of 3,000 meters
