Brignone and Goggia, who already won a downhill gold at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, are putting themselves in position to succeed Swiss rivals Gut-Behrami and Suter at the 2026 Games, when women’s skiing will be held in Cortina and men’s races in Bormio.

Sofia Goggia is leading a World Cup downhill on the course that will host women’s skiing at next year’s Milan-Cortina Olympics, while Lindsey Vonn was in 20th.

Italy's Federica Brignone won the Super-G at Cortina d'Ampezzo to extend her record as the winningest Italian female skier to 31 World Cup victories, with only men's legend Alberto Tomba ahead of the 34-year-old Milanese on 50.
