Goggia Wins Second Super-G
Italy's Sofia Goggia won her second super-G of the season to regain a commanding lead in the World Cup discipline standings. Goggia's consistent speed and technical prowess have made her the favorite to clinch the title as the season approaches its climax.
The victory in Soldeu, Andorra, on March 1, 2026, was a significant rebound for Sofia Goggia, who had finished a disappointing sixth in another super-G on the same slope just a day earlier. This win allowed her to regain a commanding 84-point lead in the super-G standings over New Zealand's Alice Robinson, with Germany's Emma Aicher 116 points behind. A race win is worth 100 points. Goggia's winning time of 1 minute, 25.95 seconds was 0.24 seconds ahead of Aicher, who had won the previous day's race. Norway's Kajsa Vickhoff Lie finished third, 0.31 seconds behind Goggia. This was Goggia's ninth career World Cup victory in the super-G discipline. While a dominant force in downhill with four season titles, most recently in 2023, Goggia is still chasing her first crystal globe in super-G. Her main rival for the title, Alice Robinson, finished seventh in the Soldeu race. Goggia and Robinson had each won a super-G earlier in the season, setting up a duel for the discipline's top prize. With only two super-G races remaining in the season, Goggia is in a strong position to clinch the title. The World Cup circuit continues next weekend in Italy with two downhills and another super-G, which will be crucial for the final standings.
