Consistent Brem leads quest for World Cup GS title (The Associated Press)
While Lindsey Vonn’s knee injury has prematurely ended a tense battle for the women’s overall World Cup title, the fight for the giant slalom championship remains tight. Leader Eva-Maria Brem is 32 points ahead of Germany’s Viktoria Rebensburg, and 80 in front of Switzerland’s Lara Gut, while three more competitors have at least a mathematical chance. Six years ago Brem broke her left leg during an off-season crash, which put her career in doubt.
