Nicol Delago Takes First World Cup Win in Tarvisio Downhill as Weidle-Winkelmann Finishes Second

The result underscored pre‑Olympic form on a course new to most of the field.

Overview

  • Delago earned her maiden World Cup victory in the Tarvisio downhill, with Kira Weidle-Winkelmann runner-up and Lindsey Vonn third.
  • Weidle-Winkelmann led to the final turn before a line error cost time she estimated at 0.26 seconds in the lower sector.
  • Germany’s Emma Aicher delivered a strong performance with fifth place in the speed race.
  • Nadia Delago placed tenth, marking a notable day for the Delago sisters on home snow.
  • Tarvisio hosted women’s speed racing again after 15 years on a glide-heavy track with foggy sections, and a Super-G on the same course is scheduled for Sunday with Weidle-Winkelmann and Aicher set to start.
