The speed racers had to courageously face the technical challenges of the slope and achieved breathtaking speeds of over 130 km/h in the final section, while at the same time battling with the pitfalls of the still relatively unknown racing slope.
The focus is once again Sofia Goggia, the 31-year-old Italian top runner known for her fast and risky riding style. Goggia is aiming for her fourth consecutive downhill Crystal Globe and fifth overall of her impressive career.
The fun-loving Goggia, who is also turning heads in Austria off-piste with activities such as accordion playing and rope climbing, is looking ahead to the upcoming Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics and is determined to add to her impressive trophy collection.
Goggia dominated the downhill rankings last season with a lead of almost 200 points. With five wins and three additional podium places from a total of nine downhill runs, she clearly set herself apart from the competition. However, she was unable to win the most important individual race of the season, the World Cup downhill; this triumph was on Jasmine Flurywhile Corinne Suter took third place. The favorites of the new season include: Goggia also Lara Gut-Behramiwho came third in the last winter race, and Joana Hählenwho narrowly missed fourth place in Lake Louise and is therefore one of the Swiss team’s hopes.
