Brem beats Gut to win women’s World Cup GS (The Associated Press)

Austrian skier Eva-Maria Brem safely protected her lead from the first leg to win a World Cup giant slalom race on Sunday, picking up her second career win and denying Swiss racer Lara Gut a third straight race victory. Gut, who overtook American Lindsey Vonn for the overall lead, finished tied for second place with Norway’s Nina Loeseth, who secured a career-best result. ”I’d like to continue like this until March and not stop here,” Gut said after her 24th career podium and first in Courchevel.
