2026 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's super-G

2026 Women's Super-G World Cup
Previous: 2025 Next: 2027

The women's super-G in the 2026 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup is scheduled to consist of eight events, including the final.[1] The season is scheduled to begin at St. Moritz, Switzerland on 14 December 2025 and then to remain in Europe all season, with each race scheduled to occur the day after a downhill, according to the initial schedule released on 12 June 2025.[2] Thus, the Di Prampero course in Tarvisio, Italy will host a World Cup race on 18 January 2026 for the first time since 2011.[3]

The season will be interrupted for the quadrennial 2026 Winter Olympics in three regions in Italy – Milan, the Stelvio Pass, and Cortina d'Ampezzo – during 6–22 February 2026.[4] The Alpine speed skiing events for women are scheduled to take place on the classic Olimpia delle Tofane course at Cortina d'Ampezzo.[5] The championship in women's super-G is scheduled to be held on Thursday, 12 February.

Season summary

The super-G discipline was the final discipline to begin for the women in the 2026 season, not starting until the tenth race of the season (and third speed race at St. Moritz, Switzerland). By that point, five of the discipline's biggest stars were out, including defending champion Lara Gut-Behrami, Corinne Suter, and Michelle Gisin (all of Switzerland), Federica Brignone (Italy), and Lauren Macuga (U.S.). In the first race, New Zealand's Alice Robinson, the current giant slalom discipline leader, edged France's Romane Miradoli, Italy's Sofia Goggia, and the United States' Lindsey Vonn for her first-ever super-G victory; overall leader and 2019 discipline champion Mikaela Shiffrin competed in her first super-G in almost exactly two years but missed the last gate, costing her a top-10 finish.[6] The next week at Val d'Isère, France, Goggia, who had made a serious mistake in the previous day's downhill while leading, picked up her first victory of the season, with Robinson close behind in second (and retaining the discipline lead) and Vonn in third.[7]

When the discipline resumed in January, the first race in Zauchensee, Austria had to be cancelled due to strong, gusty winds that made the course unsafe.[8] The race was then rescheduled as a second super-G to be held in Soldeu, Andorra, on 28 February, with the downhill scheduled for that day being moved back to the 27th.[9] Finally, the third super-G of the season took place in Tarvisio, Italy on 18 January, with Germany's Emma Aicher holding off Vonn for the victory, with Czechia's Ester Ledecká returning to the podium for the first time in over a year (11 Jan. 2025) and the rest of the field finishing over a second behind; Goggia, who finished sixth, moved into the discipline lead by 10 points over Vonn and 20 over Robinson, who failed to place in the top 30.[10] In the final World Cup race before the start of the Olympics later that week, at Crans Montana, Switzerland, the home country's Malorie Blanc, 22, won her first World Cup race by edging Goggia, with the U.S.'s Breezy Johnson recording her first super-G podium as well in a race held without Vonn, who had suffered a complete ACL tear the day before, but with Brignone, appearing in her second race since her injury ten months ago.[11]

The Winter Olympics held a huge surprise, as Brignone, who had made a huge effort to return for a home-region Olympics, roared to victory in difficult weather conditions (overcast, occasional snow, limited light; 17 starters failed to finish), thus earning a gold medal to complete her career set of medals in three different disciplines (bronze in GS in 2018, silver in GS and bronze in combined in 2022); France's Romane Miradoli grabbed a surprise silver, and Austria's Conny Hütter edged her teammate Ariane Rädler by 0.01 seconds for the bronze.[12]

Finals

The World Cup finals in the discipline are scheduled to take place on Sunday, 22 March 2026 on the Olympiabakken course at Kvitfjell, near Lillehammer, Norway.[13] Only the top 25 skiers in the World Cup super-G discipline and the winner of the 2026 FIS Junior World Championships in the discipline, plus any skiers who have scored at least 500 points in the World Cup overall classification for the season, will be eligible to compete in the final, and only the top 15 will earn World Cup points.
