The 22-year-old sensation, fresh off strong performances and chasing multiple Crystal Globes this season, was forced to DNF (did not finish) in today’s Super-G at Val di Fassa, Italy. She skied out halfway down the course — right when she looked set for a big result — dealing a crushing blow to her hopes of claiming the Super-G discipline title 🔮❄️.
Aicher had been in the mix for the small crystal globe, sitting competitively in the standings after podiums and wins earlier (including a dominant Super-G victory in Soldeu just weeks ago). But this early exit means the fight for the Super-G Globe is likely over for her, with rivals like Sofia Goggia strengthening their grip.
Meanwhile, Mikaela Shiffrin made a rare Super-G start and extended her overall World Cup lead, while 35-year-old Elena Curtoni took the win in dramatic fashion! 🎿
What a cruel twist in this thrilling season. Emma, you’ve got the talent and heart — the mountains will give you another shot! 💪❤️
