Italian speed sensation Sofia Goggia delivered a masterclass on the demanding Àliga course in Soldeu, Andorra, storming to victory in the women’s World Cup Super-G on Sunday, March 1, 2026. The 33-year-old powerhouse posted an aggressive, flawless time of 1:25.95, extending her commanding lead in the discipline standings and positioning herself as the frontrunner for the season’s Super-G crystal globe—one of the few major accolades still missing from her glittering resume.
Goggia’s winning margin proved decisive in a tight battle among the world’s top speed specialists. Germany’s Emma Aicher, fresh off her own strong form including Olympic success earlier this season, finished second at +0.24 seconds, securing her 10th podium of the 2025-26 campaign. Norway’s Kajsa Vickhoff Lie rounded out the podium in third, +0.31 behind, marking her first Super-G podium of the season and highlighting the depth of talent in the women’s speed events.
The result marks Goggia’s second Super-G win of the season (following Val d’Isère in January) and her ninth career victory in the discipline, pushing her career World Cup tally to 28 wins and 68 podiums overall (24 in Super-G). Remarkably, she has finished in the top six in every Super-G contested this year, including four podiums in six races. Her consistency has widened her advantage to 84 points over New Zealand’s Alice Robinson (who placed lower today) and 116 points over Aicher in the Super-G standings.
Goggia’s aggressive line and powerful skiing on the technical Soldeu track showcased why she’s considered one of the most formidable racers in the sport. Coming off a bronze medal in downhill at the recent Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, the Italian star continues to dominate the post-Olympic speed circuit, proving her hunger for more success remains undimmed.
Aicher, 22, continues her breakout campaign with another strong showing, while Lie’s podium adds momentum for the Norwegian team. The top 10 also featured solid performances from Corinne Suter (SUI, +0.60 in fourth), Laura Pirovano (ITA, +0.77 in fifth), and others, underlining the competitive intensity as the World Cup season builds toward its finale.
With the Super-G globe race heating up and only a few events remaining, Goggia’s Soldeu triumph sends a clear message: the Italian is locked in and ready to claim new hardware. Fans worldwide are buzzing over the high-stakes drama in women’s alpine skiing. ⛷️🇮🇹🔥
