DALBELLO

Seven years after her breakthrough Sölden win, Alice Robinson returns to the Rettenbach with a super-G victory behind her and giant slalom in focus.

Kiara Derks’ path from indoor slopes in the Netherlands to European Cup and World Cup racing has been anything but conventional. After missing the 2026 Olympics, she rediscovered the joy that first drew her to skiing, and the results followed.

Alice Robinson has joined the HEAD Worldcup Rebels, adding one of the world's top Giant Slalom and Super-G racers to the brand's elite roster. The New Zealand star brings seven World Cup victories and a World Championship silver medal to her new partnership with HEAD.

Emma Aicher mastered the fog in Tarvisio to claim Super G victory, while Lindsey Vonn returned to the podium, Keely Cashman delivered a breakthrough performance, and Sofia Goggia seized the red leader bib in a dramatic World Cup showdown.

With only a limited number of races completed and Olympic selection looming, the World Cup super-G entered the Christmas break under mounting pressure. From breakout performances and emotional podiums to depleted fields and tightening calendars, both the women’s and men’s disciplines are already taking shape in an Olympic season.

The World Cup giant slalom season hits the Christmas break with momentum building on both sides. On the women’s side, Alice Robinson and Julia Scheib are locked in a rising rivalry. On the men’s side, Stefan Brennsteiner leads while Marco Odermatt remains the standard as Olympic pressure intensifies.
