(Reuters) - New Zealand's Alice Robinson claimed her first World Cup win in almost four years with her triumph in the giant slalom at Kronplatz, Italy on Tuesday, after leader Federica Brignone crashed out on her second run.

Robinson, who last tasted success in March 2021, won her fourth World Cup race with a combined time of one minute 55.28 seconds, and moved to the top of the giant slalom standings, ahead of Sara Hector and Brignone who both failed to finish.
