  • Sofia Goggia won the women's super-G speed race, marking the first speed race of the season due to previous cancellations from weather conditions.
  • Mikaela Shiffrin finished fourth, but extended her points lead in the overall World Cup standings.
  • Goggia dominated the race, finishing 0.95 seconds ahead of Cornelia Huetter and 1.02 seconds ahead of Olympic super-G champion Lara Gut-Behrami.
