New Zealand’s Alice Robinson delivered a stunning performance on the demanding Corviglia piste today, securing her maiden World Cup super-G win in a time of 1:14.84. The 24-year-old giant slalom specialist edged out France’s Romane Miradoli by a mere 0.08 seconds, while Italy’s Sofia Goggia rounded out the podium in third, 0.19 seconds back.
Under clear blue skies and perfect sunny conditions ☀️, Robinson, starting with bib 6, mastered the turny and technical course to set an early benchmark that no one could beat. This victory marks a breakthrough for the Kiwi star, who had previously excelled primarily in giant slalom with six World Cup wins but had never podiumed in super-G.
Miradoli’s second-place finish was a welcome return to form for the French skier, earning her first podium of the season and the sixth of her career. “I had super sensations today,” Miradoli said post-race, highlighting her strong run on the challenging track.
Goggia, a speed event powerhouse, claimed bronze despite admitting her run wasn’t perfect – a repeat of her third-place finish in Saturday’s downhill. The Italian continues to show consistency in St. Moritz, a venue where she has enjoyed past success.

Notably, American legend Lindsey Vonn finished just off the podium in fourth (+0.27), denying her a third consecutive top-three result after winning Friday’s downhill and placing second on Saturday. Mikaela Shiffrin, returning to speed events after nearly two years, unfortunately did not finish.
Robinson’s triumph not only adds a seventh World Cup win to her tally but positions her as a dual-threat contender heading into the Olympic season, with women’s alpine events set for Cortina d’Ampezzo at Milano Cortina 2026.
The FIS Alpine Ski World Cup now moves to Val d’Isère, France, for the next speed races.
