Sofia Goggia solidified her status as the favorite for another downhill gold by winning for the fourth time in Cortina on the course for next year’s Olympics.

Sofia Goggia put on a speed ski masterclass in Saturday's World Cup downhill at Cortina d'Ampezzo, delighting fans with a typically fearless display on home snow as Lindsey Vonn had a disappointing run on one of her favourite pistes.

Sofia Goggia won at Cortina d'Ampezzo, one year before she hopes for home gold at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games.

Italian Federica Brignone won the women's downhill at Garmisch-Partenkirchen on Saturday, defeating her compatriot Sofia Goggia by one hundredth of a second to extend her overall World Cup lead as Lindsey Vonn again failed to finish.

Federica Brignone edged out teammate Sofia Goggia by the smallest possible margin for an Italian 1-2 finish in a women's World Cup downhill on Saturday, while Lindsey Vonn missed a gate near the bottom of the course and failed to finish.

In her first race since falling in Cortina, Lindsey Vonn skied out and did not finish while three of her U.S. teammates earned top-11 spots.

Federica Brignone was fastest in the first run of Tuesday's giant slalom at Kronplatz as the veteran aims for back-to-back victories in the alpine skiing World Cup.

Lindsey Vonn told The Associated Press on Thursday that she plans to retire again after next year’s Olympics, when women’s skiing will be held in Cortina.
