Sofia Goggia Wins Cortina Downhill as Lindsey Vonn Struggles

Goggia's fearless performance secures her second season victory, while Vonn finishes 20th in her return to Cortina's iconic course.

Sofia Goggia claimed victory at the World Cup downhill in Cortina d'Ampezzo with a time of 1:33.95, finishing 0.42 seconds ahead of Norway's Kajsa Vickhoff Lie.
The win moves Goggia within nine points of Federica Brignone, who took third place and now leads the downhill standings by six points over Camille Rast.
This marks Goggia's first downhill win of the season and a significant comeback following a serious leg injury sustained last year during training.
Lindsey Vonn, returning to the World Cup circuit at 40 years old, placed 20th after a late-race mistake despite showing promising speed earlier in her run.
The Cortina downhill is a key event ahead of next month's World Championships and the 2026 Winter Olympics, which will also take place on this course.
