Italian Star Sofia Goggia Claims First Super-G Crystal Globe
Benin City, March 22, 2026 – In a thrilling conclusion to the 2025/26 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup season, Italy’s Sofia Goggia has secured the Super-G Crystal Globe, marking her first triumph in the discipline and the fifth overall Crystal Globe of her illustrious career.
The “Queen of Speed,” as Goggia is often called, added this prestigious award to her collection of four previous Downhill Crystal Globes. Her achievement caps off a strong campaign in the Super-G, where she demonstrated consistency, aggression, and tactical brilliance throughout the season.
The decisive moment came during the World Cup Finals in Lillehammer, Norway, where the final Super-G race sealed the title. Entering the event, Goggia held a narrow but defendable lead over her main rival, New Zealand’s Alice Robinson, following intense battles earlier in the season—including key performances in Val d’Isère, Soldeu, and other venues.
Goggia’s path to the globe featured standout wins, such as her commanding victory in Soldeu, Andorra, where she extended her advantage significantly. Despite pressure from competitors like Emma Aicher (Germany) and Robinson, the 33-year-old Italian maintained her composure and delivered when it mattered most in the season finale.
This Super-G title represents a new milestone for Goggia, who has long dominated the downhill discipline with four season titles. Her ability to excel across speed events underscores her versatility and enduring excellence in alpine skiing.
Fans and analysts alike celebrated the accomplishment, highlighting Goggia’s resilience and skill. The Crystal Globe—symbolized by the iconic 🔮—recognizes the top performer in the Super-G standings over the entire World Cup season.
Congratulations to Sofia Goggia on this well-deserved honor! 🇮🇹⛷️
