KILLINGTON http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/calvin-ridley-jersey , Vt. (AP) Mikaela Shiffrin had a roaring crowd in her corner, possibly the biggest to watch a women’s World Cup race.

But it was not enough to overcome Germany’s Viktoria Rebensburg in a stirring duel Saturday on Killington’s aptly named Superstar trail.

Rebensburg won her second straight World Cup giant slalom by edging Shiffrin, the overall points leader who was skiing in the state where she attended school.

The German finished two runs on Killington’s Superstar trail in 1 minute, 57.63 seconds, with Shiffrin 0.67 back. Manuela Moelgg of Italy held on for third, 1.49 seconds off the lead.

The race took place before about 18 Cheap Rashaan Gaulden Jersey ,000 fans – organizers believe it the largest crowd for a women’s World Cup race.

And what a race they saw. The second run turned into a showdown star skiers, with the last four each taking over the top spot.

Moelgg had been third after the first run and went into the lead with a strong run. Then Shiffrin took her turn. She is a product of Burke Mountain Academy in northern Vermont and was greeted with thunderous cheers as she left the gate. The noise followed her all the way down the course. She had a great run and wound up 0.82 seconds ahead of Moelgg.

But the day belonged to Vebensburg, who had a superlative second run despite what she described as a big mistake at the top of the course. She said she was surprised she came out on top, and by the margin of victory.

”Sometimes when you make a mistake, you know you have to charge, to go 100 percent Chiefs Dorian O'Daniel Jersey ,” Rebensburg said. ”Sometimes mistakes can make you faster.”

Still, Shiffrin was pleased with her progress in giant slalom since the opener in Soelden.

”This was a step in the right direction,” she said, adding she felt more confident at Killington. She made a few adjustments to her equipment and her attitude.

”I felt like I made some good turns,” she said.

Stephanie Brunner of Austria was fourth in 1:59.28 and Federica Brignone of Italy was fifth in 1:59.38. Tessa Worley of France – the giant slalom winner at Killington last season in the first World Cup race held at the resort – was sixth.

The sunshine that greeted the racers for the first run gave way to thick clouds as the second run progressed. It was spitting rain by the time the last skiers took to the course. The overcast made it difficult to see, what racers call flat light conditions.

Rebensburg said she was praying it wouldn’t start raining hard before she got out of the gate.

”We train in all kinds of weather http://www.buffalobillsteamonline.com/jeremy-kerley-jersey , on all kinds of snow,” she said. ”We know how to handle it. When you’re in good shape, it really doesn’t matter.”

Rebensburg was surprised by the many fans and said Killington is building a great reputation with the skiers.

”The crowd cheers for everyone,” she said. ”And this just a well-organized event. The good conditions make it possible for us to have a really good race, and race at the highest level.”

The World Cup circuit returned to Killington and Vermont this year after a successful weekend of racing in 2016.

”East Coast fans are just incredible,” Shiffrin said. She mentioned a message she’d received from a fan before Saturday’s race. ”It said Cheap Christian Kirk Jersey , `We’re not here to watch you win, we’re here to support you.”’

The day of racing began with a moment of silence for David Poisson, the French skier who was killed Nov. 13 while training in Canada.

Racing continues at Killington on Sunday with the women’s slalom. Shiffrin won the slalom at Killington last year.

The China Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Chinese and global real estate markets, including China house prices, global house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a global house price crash or China house price crash. Is there a Chinese housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is it better to buy using a home loan, or rent and save the difference? How might a credit crunch or peak debt environment impact Chinese property prices? Is the Chinese property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices rise forever as people bet on future gains, refinance their mortgage and borrow against equity, or can we find a more sustainable long term approach to managing the Chinese housing market? These are the type of questions we hope to address here, at the China Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators!
