Italy's Laura Pirovano claimed her second consecutive Audi FIS World Cup women's downhill victory on March 7, 2026, in Val di Fassa, edging Austria's Cornelia Huetter by just 0.01 seconds. The 28-year-old Trento native, without a prior podium in 124 starts, now leads the downhill standings with 436 points—36 ahead of injured Lindsey Vonn (400)—after back-to-back home wins.
Following her high-profile crash in the women's downhill at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics, American ski legend Lindsey Vonn posted an emotional social media message to fans. The setback in her alpine skiing comeback now positions her to lose her World Cup downhill No.1 ranking.
