Fredrik Moeller Claims First World Cup Victory in Bormio Super-G

The Norwegian skier triumphed on the challenging Stelvio slope, while a series of crashes raised concerns about the 2026 Olympic course.

  • Fredrik Moeller, 24, secured his maiden World Cup win in the Super-G event in Bormio, finishing 0.20 seconds ahead of Austria's Vincent Kriechmayr.
  • Swiss skier Alexis Monney, who won the downhill race a day earlier, placed third, just 0.24 seconds behind Moeller.
  • The Stelvio slope, slated for the 2026 Winter Olympics, saw multiple severe crashes, including Gino Caviezel, who suffered a dislocated shoulder and knee injury after being airlifted off the course.
  • French skier Cyprien Sarrazin underwent surgery for a cranial injury sustained in a crash during training, and Italian Pietro Zazzi also required surgery after a separate incident.
  • Marco Odermatt, the three-time overall World Cup champion, finished fifth in the Super-G and noted struggles with the demanding course.
