Austria's Julia Scheib secured her fourth giant slalom victory of the season at the Kronplatz World Cup on January 20, 2026, extending her lead in the standings. Italy's Federica Brignone marked an emotional comeback from injury with a sixth-place finish, just 1.23 seconds behind the winner. The race highlighted strong performances amid preparations for the upcoming Milano Cortina Olympics.
Italy's alpine ski team will pay tribute to the victims of a deadly fire in Crans Montana during this weekend's World Cup races. The gesture comes amid a diplomatic tension between Italy and Switzerland over the incident that killed six Italian nationals. The races serve as the final preparation before the Milano Cortina Olympics.
