The Killington Cup giant slalom drew a crowd of 21,000 spectators on Saturday, a “record number for the event.” Windy conditions “forced the start of the race to be moved farther downhill” on Killington’s “Superstar" trail, "shortening the course by several gates and narrowing the potential for time gaps among racers.” Mikaela Shiffrin was the highest-placed U.S. racer, finishing 13th, but despite a podium without a U.S. racer, Killington fans “roared their support” for Lara Gut-Behrami, Marta Bassino and Sara Hector. They also had an "increased contingent of US skiers to cheer for,” with four finishing in the top 30 after the first run (BOSTON GLOBE, 11/26).
