Brignone and Goggia, who already won a downhill gold at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, are putting themselves in position to succeed Swiss rivals Gut-Behrami and Suter at the 2026 Games, when women’s skiing will be held in Cortina and men’s races in Bormio.

Swiss Olympic champions Lara Gut-Behrami and Corinne Suter placed fourth and fifth, respectively, and defending downhill World Cup champion Cornelia Huetter placed sixth. Jacqueline Wiles in seventh was the top American finisher.

Sofia Goggia is the outstanding winner in the downhill in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Lara Gut-Behrami and Corinne Suter miss out on the podium, but finish in 4th and 5th place, while Lindsey Vonn fails to achieve a top result today after a scary moment.
