(Reuters) - Olympic champion Sofia Goggia dominated the field at Val d'Isere in France on Saturday to clinch a seventh straight World Cup downhill victory that put her top of the overall standings ahead of American Mikaela Shiffrin.

The 29-year-old Italian attacked the Oreiller-Killy track from the outset and claimed the win in one minute 41.71 seconds despite a less than perfect outing around the top of the course.
