Competing in the giant slalom she finished 0.3 seconds behind American Mikaela Shiffrin. The New Zealand prospect earned her World Cup finals entry by winning the giant slalom at the junior world championships last month. Robinson's first World Cup podium arrives at an age just six months beyond that of Shiffrin when she got her first top-3 finish, in a December 2011 slalom.
