Italy's Sofia Goggia secured victory in the women's Alpine Ski World Cup super-G in Soldeu, Andorra, on March 1, 2026, beating Germany's Emma Aicher by 0.24 seconds. The win marks her second super-G triumph of the season and boosts her lead in the discipline standings to 84 points over New Zealand's Alice Robinson. Norway's Kajsa Vickhoff Lie finished third, completing the podium.
Sofia Goggia of Italy delivered a strong performance on the Aliga course in Soldeu, finishing 0.24 seconds ahead of Emma Aicher of Germany and 0.31 seconds ahead of Kajsa Vickhoff Lie of Norway. This victory, her ninth career super-G win and second of the 2025-26 season, came a day after she placed sixth in the opening super-G, reducing her lead to 20 points. Goggia now holds an 84-point advantage over Alice Robinson, who finished seventh, 0.94 seconds behind, and 116 points over Aicher, with two races remaining.
Goggia, the 2018 Olympic downhill champion and recent downhill bronze medallist at the Milan Cortina Games, expressed satisfaction with her approach. "It was a really similar race to yesterday. But we decided to adopt a different strategy to get into the central pitch, and it paid off," she said. She added, "I’m really thinking day by day, race by race. It was a solid run today, I got back the points I lost yesterday." Goggia has yet to win a downhill this season but feels confident in super-G, where she seeks her first discipline title after four downhill crystal globes, the latest in 2023.
Switzerland's Corinne Suter placed fourth, while Italy's Federica Brignone, the Olympic super-G champion who returned from a broken leg before the Games, improved to eighth from 15th the previous day. For the U.S. team, Mary Bocock achieved her career-best 11th place, ahead of Keely Cashman in 12th; Breezy Johnson finished 30th.
Aicher, securing her seventh podium of the season, narrowed the gap in the overall standings, sitting at 914 points behind Camille Rast's 963 and 219 behind leader Mikaela Shiffrin, who has 1,133 points but has focused on technical events. Vickhoff Lie called it her best skiing of the season, noting, "I dreamt about it on my way here."
Meanwhile, the men's super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, was cancelled due to fog and rescheduled for March 13 in Courchevel, France. The World Cup schedule continues with downhills and a super-G in Val di Fassa, Italy, next weekend.
